My Collection Reflects Me

My obsession with writing implements is getting out of hand,
while not quite turning out as planned. I’m still without
that vintage Montblanc, but I’m saving a place in my cabinet
for it, right in the middle where it’ll really shine.

a good pen is 
necessary for writing
rivers of ink

I collect all sorts of pens, varieties of nibs allow me to create poetry and illustrate it too; it allows me to create universes. With the ink, I am in flow. 

the power of
the fountain pen
creating worlds

My pride is a toss-up between Parker Blue Diamonds and Esterbrooks; if they don’t glide like silk across the page
my creativity stalls.  What is given to me, echoes through my soul.

the rivers that flow
from my soul onto the page
channeled scenes
