I enjoy writing reviews more than posting writings myself, but now and then…….

 

A Broken Pencil

 

Found myself

—aloft

Not but paper

— a pencil

HB soft

 

On I fill and

—pages curl

Weighted words spoke

— until

HB broke 

— and no pearl 

In hand

amazing how we can rely on lead for a good word lol, thank God for
computers heh but they don't give you the same brain pause a
pencil does. Love your uniqueness when it comes to introspective
poetry, Have a heart warming day dear friend.

Since you are an artist rather than a painter of words, I see your point. If your brain does not conjure up a poem or story, your instrument, in this case, an HB pencil, then you can't produce and it's better just to go back reacting to what others have written.

To be frank, I enjoy writing much better than commenting. But I find that it's better for me to try to cheer up writers by commenting even if their work does not inspire me like yours does.

This little poem says a lot with few words. A fine art.

Loved this. How a poet loves his/her pencil, a pearl in hand indeed.

Yes, weight comes in many forms and as you've said here, it takes a strong manifest to secure a word's place on the page, in the book, in our memories. To remember, for some of us, becomes a heavy lift as we age. Still, there are some words that are just waiting to be absorbed to make our day feel fulfilled. Thank you for posting.
