Pens And Pencils

Pens And Pencils

 

The pens that we use

Are technology I say

And pencils are too

And we use them every day:

 

Pens are official

To sign on the dotted line

And used to initial

Papers of all kinds

  

There are pencils for kids

As they learn to write

In their little tablets

and staying between the lines

 

Pencils are temporary

And should be used for puzzles

When we’re unsure

And having crossword trouble

 

Pens and pencils are fine

And put words down on paper

And preserve in time

Things read a little later

    Fine work and I see we are both on the same theme today - and living next door to each other at that.

    • w c

      Thanks, Michael. I really enjoy the words you pen.

      Pens and pencils are wondrous to use, I 'play' at calligraphy and using a dip pen seems to give more meaning to the words I write.

        Thanks, G. I can appreciate dip pens. I think i know what you mean as for me it seems that words typed seem to be better for some reason.

        A fine write w c. I seem to use pencils for ALL my poem writes. I've read that it can show un-commitment, using pencils - we can erase things!
        I don't amend much of my work though. I don't spend ages on it. I just feel comfy with the flow of the pencil.

          Thanks, orchidee. I often write with a pencil as well. Sometimes i write in bed, and when i position myself, my clipboard is at an angle and the ink runs out of my pen. With pencils, i can erase when i'm working, and as you say, there is less commitment

            There is nothing more reassuring than sharpening a nice old-fashioned pencil.........

            • w c

              Yes, Lorna. Sharpening a pencil is a pleasant experience. I can still recall my school days and standing in line to use the sharpener.

              Oh I love this. I carry around a box of sharpened pencils. I have always felt pens to be so Final.
              Thank you for sharing.

                You are welcome. Sometimes i wonder if i should have included a stanza or two on markers and crayons.
