Writing With a Quill

I wrote a small note with a quill. It’s surprising, but this exists, still. Yes, I dipped it in ink; Quite a mess, you would think, But that only applies if you spill. This was in a post office of yore, Still in use, but with antique décor; So they set up a site Letting visitors write With a feather (for sale in the store!). On the table were dishes of sand Meant to sprinkle a bit with your hand On your writing, to dry it; I think you should try it. The quill should be more in demand.

True, the pc is great with spell and grammar checks ( which I often forget) but remember the days of fountain pens? I still take to a notebook (my personal fetish) with a fine tipped pen writing in cursive which they tell me is obsolete.

I can just imagine penning a poem with a quill Ilene, but having the edit facility of a computer is definitely more up my street I think:-) hugs Jan xx
