To personify the pen, To give it a life and a will of its own. I would give it up, Let the ink of its blood Spill on a page of its own accord And no mor efollow my crude designs. To let the pen Choose whether to share with the world Or remain capped and silent. No more manic fits In the dim lamplight While the world slumbers. No hand guiding its actions - Free will would dictate my pen's strokes. To personify the pen, To grant it the boon and bane of existence. "If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing." --Kingsley Amis |

hmmm...interesting concept..I, personally would be lost without the pen..It defines me as an individual..Put it away?..that is a very scary thought for me.. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

Yeah, I'd be pretty lost without my own pen...I'd probably also have passed out by now, because I'd be trying to scratch out my poems with blood. "If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing." --Kingsley Amis |

I couldn't agree with you both about being lost without the pen......but the concept was great. I enjoyed this poem immensely.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

but it's attatched to my finger and is now a permanent appendage! Loved this poem! Ellie Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |
