What do you need right now? That was the question Amber over at #verselove asked today. While she suggested some fanciful supplies, I couldn’t get my current favorite pen out of my head. So today is a sort of ode to my pen.
Sharpie Rose Gold S-Gel Pen
Poetry requires direct connection
from heart and head
to pen and ink
Flowing ink breathes like dragon fire
burning images that are felt
not seen
Words rush, tumbling over rocks
crashing below cliffs
on their journey to the see
This pen wields magic
a wand
conjuring ideas not yet processed
by the brain
leaving tracks to follow
Meaning still to be revealed.
Thinking Through My Lens 
I haven’t always had time to comment (nor have I fulfilled my best intentions to return later and do that), but I so enjoy reading your posts every morning. They always resonate and inspire!
Thanks Molly. I love the challenge of a poem a day even as I struggle to give it the time and attention it needs. Thanks for reading!
