Its Not Just a Pen
A pen is more than just a pen;
more than just a recording device.
When I pick up a pen
I take a journey
to another realm
and to many realms,
I’ve been.
I have many pens,
I collect them;
pens for writing
pens for drawing
pens for hole punching
and pens for adventuring.
Today, I am penning poetry;
tomorrow I will give
personality to my eggs
with a felt-tip pen
that I use for sketching.
Whenever I pick up a pen
I wield a magical wand;
I can conjure dragons
or chimera and
about them,
write a poem or song.
I can wield a magic sword
to slay the creatures
that I create;
such as monsters,
trolls or wyverns
and I succeed
every time.
I can create words and art
to make you sad or glad;
to make you smile or laugh
‘tho you find that
you’ve been had!
My cat loves pens too,
it’s why mine may disappear
and not be seen for months on end
if my cat, they’re near.
So, you see a pen’s not
just a pen; it’s a part of me.
I’d hate to be without one;
I probably couldn’t think!
