The Glide: A poem
A Poem On Writing
Have you ever tried to write a poem on writing? How did that work out for you? I have failed many times, but I bought this new pen, and inspiration hit! Read my poem below and comment if you like it! =)
The Glide
the glide.
The click of the tip
as the ink slips free.
The bumps in the grip
as my fingers deftly
speak words for me.
The loops and the swirls,
a magnificent world
of subtle elegance.
In words and letters, in
lines and breaks aligned.
The streets alongside trees,
and the brush in roots and roughly
strewn boughs from the storm.

This is how I decide what to do.
My lines are all of these.
They are tugs--ropes
and petite chains of
lengths never seen.
Ends sans knots or frays
or the chewed pieces from
teenaged hearts gone astray.
My ink embodies these.
It slinks into forms
and dries as shapes
with frames, with skin.
It shows the lines
of the soul in me.
My writing is a part of me,
as is my medium.
My pen and its glide
through its bridges in my mind.
