Spilt Ink

She liked the way he spilt his ink. He had such a great pen and though it was pink it was big and round and made her think. He was always ready to write again and again. He wrote the best when she was in his sight. She was the inspiration for all he’d write. She loved the things he said, his words a sexy sound. With his pen in hand he’d lay his words down. Oh, how his ink would flow when she laid her paper just below. He wrote and wrote ‘til her paper was full and all his ink was spilt. His motto was: "Write or bust with love and lust 'til the paper is 'filt'." By: Carole O’Terry Duet Copyright: 3/21/2018 “All Rights Reserved”

Hi Darlene! Thanks for dropping by to read. Yes, me too. Sometimes I wake up with a poem on my mind and I have to hurry and write it down before the inspiration fades. Then, after I finish I give it a title. Carole :D

We all need an inspiration to write, and it seems the lady was his inspiration... Or is it all a metaphor for something naughty ahem....

Love Poetry pen strikes again, interesting that it was pink. Smoldering sensuality in her inspired him to just write and write till all his ink was spilt. Brilliant poetry as always Carole. Love, smiles and a big fave....Maria xxx
