Fountain Pen
I like to use a fountain pen
it makes a better line, so when
the word I need's not
in my head,
the pen will guide my hand instead.
Held high like chivalry's own true sword
if it can just be chosen well, a word
might
pierce the dark like evensong,
but soon be quiet if chosen wrong.
Fountain Pen was accepted for publication online (as I Like to Use a Fountain Pen)
in Sol Magazine, March 2004.
