The Emotions of a Pen

Writing really  is a peculiar thing
it stirs you up way down there
sometimes something new pops up
can be aggressive like big brown bear

Emotions of various kinds occur
softly tenderly sometimes so smooth
never know what'll be up next
whatever the mind finds to doeth

It's always amazing to wonder
what your next subject will be
such is the wonder of thought
for you need the wood of the tree

But feelings can vary moment by moment
as they're changing so much from day to day
effecting your own  writing extremely so
colouring it from brightness to darkest grey

As you feel your grip on your pen
think of it's feelings stem from you
what you write comes from deep inside
raise it up so to make it do
