I stole his pen.

Something inspired by Aurora's "I lost my pen", hope that's ok.

I Stole His Pen

 

I stole his pen,

The tool he uses to hide

The bottle he keeps

Hidden in the book shelf.

 

I stole the cloak

That keeps everyone blind

To his errors

-this he admits himself.

 

He looked under the desk,

Behind the sofa and even outside

In the shallow end

Of the pool.

 

After a while he gave up,

He reached for the bottle yet again

And some tears appeared, he was no longer a poet

-just a drunken fool.

some of us want to be poets...but maybe we should just reach for the bottle instead of the pen....
"and the shallow end of the pool" is where many of us try to hide in plain sight.

really like this...it is so openended...like a pen leaking ink..and we aren't quite sure what will form.

hahaha! this is delightful! do i sense this was an introspective piece, or was it just a fancy?

It was like i said inspired by another poem one by a writer here, Aurora-
she has a poem called "i lost my pen" which is really good. so i thought, what if i stole it? thanks for reviewing.
