Quill
I’ve been told that I possess
A “most creative quill.”
So, thank you, Bob; I must admit
Your words gave me a thrill.
Alas, a pencil is the tool
Which helps me to create.
I know, at least poetically,
It doesn’t quite equate.
I’d love to write with ink-dipped quill,
A style I could embrace,
But reason trumps such fantasy –
For how could I erase?
My trusty pencil does the trick,
Though lacking feather frill,
But I’d have fancied, like the Bard,
Composing with a quill.
