My pen’s a stitch of creativity
Against a world of mediocrity
A refuge within the palm of my hand
Whether cursive lines of one leaf’s rustle
Or prose on the weight of madam’s bustle
My pens lodge a dream of nocturnal bliss
Onomatopoeia of a snake’s hiss
All that’s required is my mere command
To push it further than my very best
Even when it looks like a Rorschach test
Equipoise is lost on the muse you see
Control’s illusion gone in a vapor
Pens hold infinite possibility
Upon contact with blank sheets of paper

haha…i like this…my writing is def a refuge as well…and i like the acknowledgement of letting go of control as well, realizing the pen will often take us places we never expect….i like your rhyme scheme and rhythm as well…
Pens-sibility..ha…i like.. yep, it’s so cool to just let it flow…letting go of control…an escape from everyday life as well for me…nice..
My pens lodge a dream of nocturnal bliss… cool line
So very true, control is anathematic to creativity. Love where you took the prompt!
Of course, I believe it. I enjoyed your rhyming lines,too 🙂
Pens hold infinite possibility
Upon contact with blank sheets of paper
Love the final stanza. Makes me think that time almost stops for a second the second then and paper make contact and then spins out of control. Creative all the way. 🙂
There is something about a pen and a pristine sheet of paper … great take on the prompt
Pen and paper vs. computer really does make a difference.
love the whole idea here…and nocturnal bliss as that is when a lot of pens do their best writing;)
I love the playfulness of this poem, “Onomatopoeia of a snake’s hiss” and the last two lines “Pens hold infinite possibility, Upon contact with blank sheets of paper”
“Pens hold infinite possibility” love it! Thanks for sharing your words. Cheers!
Pen and paper, the beginnings…very nice.
we both have cursive trees =) great rhythm and whimsy
I hate poems which amount to no more than “a Rorschach test”!
And this one certainly wasn’t one. Great rhythm, rhyme and message.
A fun trip
True dat! (I just pretended the big words weren’t there)
Pen and paper? I don’t like to commit myself so much as that 🙂 It’s pencil and paper for me, always with an eraser handy too.
I really loved this:
“Pens hold infinite possibility
Upon contact with blank sheets of paper”
It’s those infinite possibilities that we writers are exploring, at our best boldly going “where no-one has gone before.” 🙂
You tell it true! In writing and in painting, when I try to control, the result is uncomfortable, contrived. When I release and flow, magic happens.
