My Pen To Flow

I’ve forever written 
  as myself

Few influences will 
  show

Neither Hemingway nor 
  Faulkner

 Not Melville or 
  Thoreau

But as one who saw through 
  all of that

With so much more
  to know

 I search the land
   and stars above

For ink
  —my pen to flow

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
