• Pens
    In different colors
    Red, Blue, Black, Purple
    And Green
    Pretty Perfect Pens

    Like the finger on your hand
    Or a dart jammed into the wall

    Made to write
    And draw, to create
    Stories and Pictures

    New, the pen is
    As sleek as a bullet
    And as firm as one too,
    Without flaws
    And full of ink,
    waiting to be used,
    Smelling of freshly made plastic.
    And Old the pen is
    All scratched up
    And full of dents and
    Teeth marks from where
    You chewed on it
    And hardley any ink left from all
    the times you absentmindedly
    Scribbled on the margins of your paper

    On the floor
    In your mouth
    On a table
    In a drawer
    On your lap
    In school
    On your shirt
    In your pocket
    And at the store
    Pens are everywhere

    To draw
    To write
    To scribble
    And to doodle
    Are what pens were made to do
    Creatures have found other uses as well

    To chew
    To through
    To drop

    Everyone has that Specific, Special, Precious Pen
    You know the pen you forget on the
    Kitchen table, and didn't realize it until your
    Aready on your way
    Your whole day becomes odd
    You can't concentrate
    You can't write as well as before
    You can't even sit still
    Because you know something is missing
    A day without your Special Pen like a day
    Without seeing your best friend,
    The whole day feels wierd
    Nothing feels right

    The pen is with
    you your whole life
    It fills out your birth cerifcate
    And even writes to the local paper
    Informing the world of your death

    So as you see (even if most
    Times you don't realize it)
    Pens are with you your whole life
    No matter how long that life is
    Pens are your best friend
    The friend that lets you
    Get your thoughts on paper
    So those thoughts are no longer bottled inside
    Threating to burst
    The Pen saves you, save you from screaming
    Because no one would listen to you
    The pen is there when no one else is
    It tells your story toy the paper you write on
