"Of Pen and Honor"

I sit and wonder what word

will be next on the page,

planning the sentence penned,

the connection succession.

What new plot will be developed

in the intricate story I write.

Each thought written or typed

a brush stroke of the mind,

painted as a picture enhancing tales

created only in my psyche.

Ideas although they may be similar

from writer to writer,

the hues differ, not to be plagiarized

from pureness of the scribe.

Pen and ink flow over the pages

to enthrall the reader.

All scribbled thoughts potential words

to permeate the pages of journals,

From Shakespeare, Ginsberg, Tennyson, King,

is a rare special occasion.

These writers of brilliance toiled,

as do all fellow authors to expand.

Expanding imaginations through written. . .word. . .
