Pencil

I have a pencil that I share
It sticks to me like underwear
Use it cause I can’t remember
Because I live in old December

It works for me both front and back
Marks the paper erases plaque.
Makes a record of all I sigh
And has written many a lie.

I like it cause it shrinks with me
Each time I make a point you see
But it is steady and keeps a log
A log of true and mist and fog.

It even writes my fantasy
My dreams of feeling ecstasy
My lonely hours of despair
And even some I wont declare.

My pencil now, is but a nub
The eraser is but a stub.

Morning Sy!
You carry a pencil around and I make lists..

Hey..we do whatever we have to do.
Tea's on love..I'll pour.

So your pencil is down to a nub and stub ...
that just makes you the King of the poetry club.
There's never a need for you to ever erase ...
your words are only of wisdom and grace.

I don't care if you type it, or use a pencil or pen ...
all I care is that you do it again and again.
Carve them in stone ... scratch them in sand ...
matters not which hand you write thy verses of understand.

Scribe thy rhymes divine then sign them  by Sy ...
with every line your name is written cross infinity's sky.

JM,
Some times you fly me to the sky and
Randy watches with a tear in his eye.

Sending a box of pencils, Sy...
and a stack of paper, my oh my...
for we cannot let your steam unwind
for a poet's words that are so kind...

Good morning Sy....

Seymour - I think that you could write your wonderful poetry with an old crayon if you had to! Love this morning's read. Now...pens...I have lots and lots of pens...paper here and there....my goodness quite a mess! lol. As my sister Enchantress has neat lists and tea.....I have odds and sods...oh...and cherry turnovers....yippee!
hugs, Chris

How could I write without your sunshine.

Here you go Sy. I'll share my magic pencil
and paper that erases it self when you are through. The lead never ends so your words of poetry will last until the ends of time.
