The Poet's Pen

With this thing,
A poet can sketch,
The beauty of trees and rain,
This thing is main,
Without this thing, it looks,
As if an ice-cream is without smack,
Or the brain with a crack.

So, this thing you ken,
It’s the poet’s precious pen.

Thoughts are unlimited,
But my brain’s cerebrum is limited,
So there’s a need to express,
My pen which is so kind,
Does it for me, it’s a must
Without my dear pen,
My mind would have burst.

So, this thing you ken,
It’s the poet’s precious pen.

So, I think that every poet gives compact,
To this fact,
That half of the credit for their tact,
Goes to the pen,
With which a poet,
Can describe the secret lion’s den,
Or the funny movements of a hen.

So, this thing you ken,
It’s the poet’s precious pen.

It is precious yes. The words are beautiful. We can't always separate ourselves from the means by which we express our ideas. Strange is life, but also a real pleasure.
