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 Sponsor: Casarah Nance Contest: You Want It Bad..Then Bribe Me Written: September 24, 2015 Too much TV watching ID, Dateline, Lt.

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
