I Am Pen Obsessed

I can be tempted from penning
         the sun and the bird songs call to me
      I want to sketch and paint a scene
         and walk about and find inspiration
  and I am drawn to go shopping for trinkets
  but, none of this will give my words wings
        oh, temptation, is a great burden
  yet, in the end . . . . I am pen obsessed

Ah but with a pen, in your hand, you sketch and paint such wonderful scenes. Such a delight as always. Eloquently written. Thank you, JC Hawkens
