The Pen!

"Are you Quill?," She asked abeam.
"Yes, of course! - mostly - when the Muselle` 
visits oft'n'r upon, as my wont!
"Well, here!, this will surely help at the Magic...

And IT, Voila!, was in hand, a thrust-unmistakable!
Blunt, bulbous & sleek, a slick Recife, 
this Turquoise and Silver stick.

Is IT "Blue?" Is IT "Black?" 
Pray, "Blue-Black!?"  Wow! - 
A Sole instrument for Playing in the Indigene,
Soul Colors of the Earth! - I nearly crack to Self.

Swirled-embedded, b'neath the haute Baekelight-Crystal
like a LavaLamp-Entemp.  IT's messages of ambidexsrait-
Threads, Mola thru splayed fingers.  O' Charitable Mage 
You have brought to Life!...   I     Write    Handcrafted!  
                                                        
                                                        H.e.m.
                                                        5.1.MMvii.
                                                        Solus

H Mantel Date: 5/25/2009 4:07:00 PM TY, all, again for your aggrandizement on this Piece; I am pleased, a bit surprised by the re-featuring of "The Pen!," having had the selection, & "won" in a previous contest, not familiar with the mechanics/policy of PoetrySoup in this regard. Perhaps some one of you will indulge & explicate? TY, & I am honored - H'H./H.e.m. Login to Reply
