Old Letters

We don’t craft and send no more
Penned words residing in my draw

Once sunny days, audacious bets
One young at heart, the choices made
Mundane events still on parade

Creased paper, yellowing in time
Cute fading stamps, once worth a dime
Ideas frozen, saved and kept
And people, places

I Recognize Daddys Penmanship

I recognized the hand immediately
Daddy never used cursive
He dropped out of school in eighth grade.
He always printed.
Maybe he forgot cursive?
His blocky dark blue letters were put painstakingly onto a page.

He wrote his memoirs more than once.
Having Alzheimer’s in the end, he forgot what he had already written.
The pages are a bit faded now, but the

Premature Penmanship

I was sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread
I think I love you (I think I love

Penmanship

Poignant scroll on impulse
plethora of brainstorm
pen a lucid haze with
panoramic line shade’s
plush enchanted metre
peeping into vacant 
psyches hollow crater

Sailing In Your Penmanship

In your penmanship I sail away~
Words as deep as the Chesapeake Bay
keep me afloat by their perfect array
as I sway to the notes that they play.

Penmanship

He was thinking 

of the smooth black 

sleekness of the barrel

of the ball point pen 

divided in two by

a ring of chrome 

that married 

the two halves. 

a ring that brought

two halves together 

to operate as one. 

Two lives as one, 

he thought. 

How cold the pen felt 

in his hand just then,

Handwriting

Malformed loops and curls
followed my unsteady pen,
as I wrote homework 
and answers in examination booklets.

With difficulty, one might
navigate where occasional legible
words formed stepping-stones
across my rivers of confusion.

Creating whirls with flare
remained a dream
in my spastic world
of uncertainty.

Jabs and lurches,
scratches and corrections
desecrated traditional
tools of writing.

I lived with this cursive curse
until meeting QWERTY,
my closest companion
of sixty years.

More Grave Than Perfect Penmanship

can I follow up 
greatest words ever written,
blue skies on thin ice?
should one’s theology be
impeccable...shatterproof?

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

           Pen hemorrhages
Rorschach ink blots reach in need
