A Pen Right Through
by Grace Pringle
In my heart they drove
a pen,
An act of iteration
To reach a desired
end.
Straight through, they
struck my heart.
A fire did consume my
mind,
Tearing my chest, a
flaming dart.
The ink injected,
Coursed through my
veins
Controlling and
infected.
A damaged passion did
ensue,
With a wounded heart,
And a pen right
through.
Still the command did
call,
And forced me to
write,
The story of
everything and all.
With pen strokes
uncertain,
A wavering mind,
Closed a word-ridden
curtain.
Pulling that pen from
my chest,
I wrote with that weapon,
A story that will
never rest.

What a pretty poem Grace! I love it, it really shows off your passion for writing. I want to improve my poetry writing. I stink at making things have rhythm without sounding corny, so I find your work especially excellent as you are able to do just that! I started a blog (on top of my personal tumblr I already use for general stuffs) to keep me motivated in my writing. Feel free to take a look :) Thanks and take care!
ReplyDeleteThank you! One of my favourite things to write on is writing. I have several poems on subject :)
DeleteRhyming isn't easy :P Sometimes I use this online rhyming dictionary to help me when I am stuck: http://www.rhymezone.com/?loc=bar
What's the link to your new blog? I'd like to read it.
Oops! For some reason I assumed clicking my name would take you there, but it totally didn't xD

It's still a work in progress. I have more to add when I'm back at home (I'm at Jordan's mother's house right now) on my own computer. I need to add all of my work to a cloud or something >_>
Thanks for the link! I'll have to put it in my favourites. It's something I'd like to work on! Rhyming out loud, like if I'm singing, has never bothered me and I can come up with them on the spot. But as soon as I'm writing it down I have no idea what I'm doing, haha.
I love this poem. :) I used to write, and this poem made me want to write again. You have true talent. :)

I love knowing that I've inspired someone to write! I need those moments quite often myself to keep my creativity active.
