I cannot see the slant you have, might it be left or right? I cannot see the way you sign, is it legible or hard on sight? Would blue ink or black be your choicest of hues? Of ballpoint or fountain, which utensil would you use? Do you print or write cursive most of the time? Is your penmanship messy or is each letter aligned? Do you capitalize when needed or prefer lower case? Is your vocabulary proficient or simply commonplace? Do you forget to cross t's and forget to dot i's? Does your scroll scream out loud Or is your scratch normal size? Do you space out your words So they appear neatly? Or do your words fall on paper With no thought of their symmetry? Oh, these questions I ask Are those I need to see When you scribble your words down As you birth poetry Without your penned sample My job’s quite obsolete You see, I’m no poet I study graphology. So send me a sample Of your common pen And I’ll tell you, quite frankly What kind of person you’ve been Your slant shows me things You assume are too hidden And your ink choice reveals Your dreams, most forbidden Whether capital or not Your style tells on your spirit There’s not much you can hide In your strokes, I can hear it These blue pages are dandy But I fear because they exist My career may be ended… I’m a starving graphologist. |

Are you really? I find that so interesting...really!! I wish you could analize my handwriting. Intriguing...very intriguing. Hugs~ ~ Is that love I see in your eyes... or merely a reflection of mine? ~ |

 (smiles) It's funny! When I was a little boy in elementary school, they used to say I had the worst handwriting (I absolutely agreed with them) and now they say I have the best, yay! (big angel hugs) This is sooooooo cute, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet McLean, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

Are you really? I think that is so interesting and at one point in my life was really interesting in studying it myself. Your poem is very good! |

Interesting write, graphologist or not. I would love to see the handwriting of PIP poets. Maybe one day . . . |

McLean~ Ohhhhhhh ... your profession is intact with me as a client~ I use the flourish of pen to set my ink to parchment ... often after the words have flown to the pages blue ... but I DO LOVE the penmanship with which I was entrusted ... and having had several graphologist's interpret me ... I find that they often have a better key on the REAL me than some who would only interpret my word-play~ This is precious~ THANK YOU~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

ROFL... I love this! *S* My handwriting at work is much sloppier than when I'm writing for myself... even when I'm scribbling poems in the dark! LOL And that may not be altogether accidental... I've had a boss try to decipher my notes only to look up and query "Job security? No one but you can read this!" LOL (Hey, one is a job... the other's my life. *G* And I can always type. *G*) |
