When leaks my pen of flowing ink I quickly staunch the flood by blotting with my fingertip the pool of chromatic drip Escapees while my mind took flight wandering across the sky writing in script of a damsel's plight until the globules caught my eye Often, I've stopped writing to think.... there lies drops of my poem's blood Swirls and whirls of rhyme and phrase captured with the stab of a finger Words trapped inside a maze where my poetic thoughts must linger a miniature portrait of my write a tattoo in black on parchment of white

Congratulations Lin on POTD. It is a wonderful write. It looks like my blood has just about all drained out.

Danny, I'm saying thank you for the sweet comments, but frowning at you for thinking you're drained. It's just not so. Keep your pen in hand.
