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.
