Task-wielding master, obedient slave - to your power I bow, your approval I crave, yet push you relentlessly over my page. Stern-visaged teacher and volatile sprite - you surge as I steer on our journey of write: we delve ancient depths, leap unheralded heights. Appendage of thought on a vertical climb - driving me, pulling me, stretching my mind; dancing with fantasy, unearthing time. Magnificent wanderer - capturing light from sun-rolling heavens and opening night for the rocketing thrust of our destiny flight. You guide as you follow - my heart's in your flow; we sail on desire, emotions in tow with unexplored fathoms of hunger below. |

What a truly magnificent metaphor. I applaud you for this!! "I walked beside the evening sea And dreamed a dream that could not be." George William Curtis |

If my slight Muse do please these curious days ... The pain be mine ... but thine shall be the praise. ~Shakespeare~ |

You are clearly a lady of diverse talents! I love the flow of this one. Those pens are complex creatures, aren't they? To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |
