The Pen

Tucked away feeling safe in the notebook's metal binder
Waiting; the pen thinks of the times spent with the poetess
She would slowly, gently remove him and caress the arthritic padding
Maybe even place him against her soft lips, then
Begin writing upon lined pages
Where his black ink came alive
Each word formed in rhythm with her thoughts
How the pen loved being the vehicle to convey her every thought 

Oh no! Here comes the evil man who took her away that night_
He picked up me and her notebook slammed us into his truck
Please, God, I pray don't let him use me to write another dark shady list

Aughh!! I've been ripped from the ring of notebook
Gripped by the aggressive, hateful man
Almost broken by his powerful muscles 
The notebook's metal binder pulled and bent out of shape
He with evil and hate etched into the lines of his face, clicks
My point comes out into the darkness of night
Please don't let my ink flow onto the pages so pure and white

The writing begins but the ink doesn't flow smoothly upon the tip
Rope
Duct Tape
Hacksaw
Shells//sputtered ink refusing to write
P

The pen with heart aching is thrown far away landing in a dark corner of this room's evilness

I'll never be caressed by the poetess again

Please God don't let him kill her when he returns

Hi Sara. Hope all is well with you. What a great poem from the pens point of view. The passion and joy the pen feels in the hand of the poetess is quite imaginative and fun. Very nice, my friend. I had a good time reading this one...... Robert.

2nd line, 'spent' or 'spend?' How very creative and imaginative. Not only did I smile, but at times I was genuinely concerned - maybe I've seen too much TV, too. Good write ... CayCay
