The Power of the Pen

With just a few short strokes, and the ink of a magical pen. You can clear the air of pollution, or simply be young again. Memories once made, can be brought back and given life. Like grandpa whittling wood, with his favorite pocketknife. A pen can alter time, and let you travel to and fro. It can tell you fact or fiction, that the reader may never know. Happiness can be shared, or you can experience someone’s pain. It can sometimes cause insomnia and even clog a drain. Your pen can offer solace to a world that’s stricken with grief. It can lend a unique perspective on a certain personal belief. It can be the gateway to one’s soul and a release for your imagination. Maybe it will bring forth nature’s beauty, or just political frustration. With a pen you can honor family, or that very special friend. It can provide a little respite, from a pain that has no end. Each of us can find a reason, for pairing paper and pen. You can bring Puff out of his cave and make him soar again. Whatever your heart can envision with the magic you choose to bring. May your pen stay full of ink and bring more songs that we can sing.

Hello Mark Koplin, my pen creates poetry. My pen creates words of friendship on paper. Talking of what we did on the weekend. My pen creates a verse in a birthday card. Enjoy your evening my friend.

Most people will believe everything they read. So I it is very powerful and corrupt when used wrong. Cheers!

With a pen we can paint the world as if we see it through rose colored glasses. I enjoyed each finely written couplet, Mark.
