This Ol' Pen

This ol' pen has seen many of things
And I've seen mere words come to life
I've written things that made folk think
But my ink is running really low
I'm about to reach my twilight hour
But I have no regrets and each word……
I ever wrote will live on after I'm gone

I was inspired to write this after read a poem by Gershon Wolf

Robert Lindley Date: 5/9/2019 2:01:00 AM *Stay to see, to read, to write many more *Spill more words on Poetry's golden floor *Walking new trails into forests pristine* * Amongst rolling hills,so verdant green!* My friend , as I look at my twilight hours, I look away and look back at memories that give cheer and some that cause regret. We are born- we die. It is the in-between that we may choose to shine. Love ur poem--a fave.. Login to Reply

John Gondolf Date: 5/8/2019 3:57:00 PM Hi, Alexis. Very nicely written, one of the reasons I started writing was so that my descendants three or four generations down the road will have an idea of the person that I was. Hopefully, my words will live on. All the best my friend. John Login to Reply

Gershon Wolf Date: 5/7/2019 1:48:00 PM Honestly, I wasn't looking for this; found it 'accidentally' in 'Unread Poems' --- and now am greatly flattered and humbled, and trying not to let false modesty prevent me from being glad that I have, this once, served as inspiration. Thank you for mentioning, Alexis! Best wishes, Gershon Login to Reply Alexis Y. Date: 5/7/2019 5:15:00 PM Hi Gershon, I am delighted to see that you were the first one to comment on this write. You inspired it! Can you guess what poem of yours I'm referring to? Have good day and thanks for the inspiration:-) Alexis
