The Tablet

No, no leave me here upon the table and, if she's able she'll pen a few lines. No, no don't put me away let me stay with these blue lines to guide a thought she might find a lot to say. Its almost like I call to her: "See, see. You can, you can write, right." And, through the night and all through the day I'll be here near the chair or near the bed and suddenly, she'll be holding me scribbling furiously as though someone is chasing her.

Nice use of personification for an interesting view. Keep that pen writing! I'm a pencil and paper gal myself so can relate to the tablet. Thank you for sharing your poem with us and for your kind comments. Karen

Oh! What tales that notebook has felt scribbled across its pages tales of woe, of love, of laughter, or stories that should not have been told. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
