My PEN

 

 

Every stroke, every dance, every sway/

My nifty nibbling masquarade makes/

Across the dunes of my endless page/

It goes raising dusty thoughts - a life time stain/

 

Every clay, every grain of word/

My dexterous Potter fashions or moulds/

Tossing and turning at very precise nods/

Biting tirelessly into fleshy pages untold/

 

It stems along the leaves of my lengthy book/

Striding majestically into terrains unknown/

Into every cranny, every nook/

Ever more careful each time it misses a step or so/

 

Oh mighty inkguist!

I marvel at your inking skills/

I shudder at how every tongue thou inkly speaks/

Standing atop of your slim noisy lips/
