I'm sitting here
waiting for you.
Please try to write
a poem or two.
I'm sitting here
upon your desk
wanting to write
poems humoresque.
Please pick me up
and write away.
Together we'll have
a poetry day.
OK, so this isn't the most brilliant poem I've ever written. I think if my pen did try to talk to me, I might freak out. But, wait, my pen talks to me almost every night when I fall asleep with a pen in my hand. I wake up and find there are some strange things written in my journal. If your pen could talk to you, what would yours say? Hey, it's Saturday and I hope you have a fun weekend writing.
Dear Writing Pen
ReplyDeleteI'll feed you ideas.
You work the meter
and add the flair.
Linda dear,
Deleteyour ideas are great
to read your comments,
I can't wait.
Now, let's see--that has a reversal. Bad Joy.
And did you catch that I wrote will, when I meant we'll?
I've got it corrected now, but it sure bums me out when I discover I've made a dumb error, something I know better.
That is why I need an editor.
Joy,
ReplyDeleteI talked to the pen and the assignment was for the pen to talk to me. This perspective is what sprang in my head and so I went with it. It was fun. I especially liked my use of "flair."
Don't be so hard on yourself about the spelling. It didn't caught me, probably because I thought you were purposely omitting the subject of the sentence and just writing a phrase.
