The Pen -New Version
One puts it between thumb and finger
hold it firmly to strike with ink nib
then ink flows smoothly along
putting on paper all your mind since crib
Whatever thoughts come through you
you’ve got your weapon in your hand
ready to pounce spread around
proving yourself be main brand
Literature is so vast subject on whole
your personal pen seems drop in ocean
especially when you consider all rest
but your contribution can be special potion
This pen seems little in this digital age
so many ways there be to communicate
but it still has it’s uses many by far
being many forces needed penetrate
So make sure give great value to your pen
use it stirring up that gift that’s within you
bring upon this world some poetic gem
pen full of ink prove so much be true
(This is a remake of my first poem on ps entitled 'The Pen', hopefully it shows progress in my literal pen since I first wrote this piece.)
