A Fine Pen

There is nothing like a…fine…pen.
Carrying the visions of my soul across a naked page.
The magic wand for my muse;
it constructs the universes my muse creates.

A fine pen is a part of a writer’s soul
like plumbing for the mind, 
it carries feelings, thoughts and emotions;
pours them out before my eyes as water pours from a fountain.  my mind overflows and a beautiful
image is born for others to peruse.

A fine pen submits to my whims and will
to every thought, idea or dream.
A fine pen echoes my spirit’s cries
Its’ joys, sadness, elation, anger, rage, joy and love.

Because it’s a fine pen,
it bleeds when I bleed
cries when I cry
laughs when I laugh.

A fine pen is a godsend;
not one of those stiff and scratchy
skipping, dripping and blotting dime store sticks.
It is a feather on waves of colored ink
leaving behind ripples that, ride the winds with my spirit.

Thank you, Cynthia; I am so glad that you enjoyed the poem. I love collecting and repairing old fountain pens and I use them when I write in my journals...the inspiration for the poem.

Thank you, Casarah. Even with our iPads and iPhones today; the pen still travels best and never needs recharging.
