Poets pen .

When I write my poetry,
My pen must get so sad,
I wonder if it feels like me,
And feels so very bad,
I often stop and think,
What if pens have feelings,
Exposed there in their jinx ?
Is it mean that I should write,
And wear out the poor pen’s Ink,
The way that life flies by,
It’s just the same for me,
And I know that in the end,
Like it I’ll fade,
Into infinity .

-Write happily today on national poets day and give your pen a smile-

Written by Tom Baker .

Thankyou very much, I'm glad you can relate to it, I was starting to think that I was the only one who felt that way .

I liked the way you compared your life with a pen!  Nice angle!

Thanks alot the both of you, your most kind . I am glad you can agree with my metaphor of life being like the ink of a pen, but I supose most of the credit for this poem ought to go to the pen as firstly it starting to run out while I was writing another poem gave me the inspiration and secondly the fact that I used up it's ink writing it down .
Cheers mateys .
