Speak Up

A pen is like a voice It speaks to the heart Unlike other voices It has an immortal part It can last as long as the paper where it has writen It could be proclaimed Or by lovers secretly hidden Pen and paper make a wonderful team Saving imaginations recording dreams A pen can define a station in life The leader of a nation or a devoted wife From places of dispare a pen was wittness When patriots declared their independence And Magna Carta dared to defend us Inspirational writing there to cleanes us This pen we have mightier than the sword The voice of reason, message from the Lord A way to reach the rest of the world Or just one person just one girl

I'm a titch intrigued by you, TS. A poet who never responds to comments and one who needs no kudos from anyone to know your poetry is profoundly as interesting as your name. I don't use the title 'poet' loosely on this site, but you are definitely a poet.

I have to admit you picked a good one. Sometimes I'm surprised I wrote it. And I do respond just not often.

by the way -on my walmart moment. my hubbie was right there WITH me in the store when I realized my car was probably still running in the parking lot. I ran a lot faster than Joe out the door to go check it!!

lovely thoughts here, Situation. I LOVE words and paper and pen. it saddens me that with texting and computers and kindles, etc. all those things I hold dear are going out the window. A book to hold in my hands, a pen in my fingers. Can you imagine maybe in ten years hardly anyone will know those pleasures?
