Shallow Inkwell

Sadly, I have only the one shallow inkwell to enter words About my adoring father’s incomparable life. And, Webster’s entire dictionary is not enough to Even describe a day of his existence. How on This extremely small earth can it be accomplished? My Attempts come up short every time I dip in shallow inkwells. Maybe I can exist for a time as his apparent duplicate, Even though, at best, I’ll portray a foggy impression. Hurry, I better accelerate; he is fading as quickly As the inkwell. Now, I can’t envision dad’s outline, To imitate. Sorry it concluded in this utter letdown. Our shallow inkwell has emptied; his immortality has expired. Now I’ll face a fruitless eternity to accomplish comparisons. For Con/Vow contest
