The Magic Pen

the pen moves as I sleep I barely see it scratching across the notebook But I do not care; I am exhausted. It is way past my bed time. My muse kept me up. I do not open my eyes Knowing in the morning I will hate what I see Because the pen is the smart one in this duo It is despicably sad being shown up by a magic pen.

No, that is what is called, Automatic Writing and you are apparently channeling some fun poets in your sleep.

I think poetry is a bit of magic. And its writers quite extraordinary. Lovely work!

Captured the emotion of a writer, wanting, needing to pen continuously, listening to her muse’s nonstop chatter, the pen wiggling like a heartbeat. Love this one...I feel it.
