The Pen Hand

A magical hand to turn
letters and words into
poetry. To a writer their
pen hand is priceless.
A talented utensil which
poets are blessed is
the hand to crypt with.
Not to be abused nor
misused.

A writer spend hours with
their pen hand burning words
into paper Their mind is steaming
with visionaries. A dreamland
in which no toher person can compete.
The writer's imagnation churns.
and the hand with the pen solder
with ink with paper.

When the scribe is finished, they
have a piece of wording they can
be proud of. Having it published
for all the world to enjoy.

I like the theme in this one, as I have posted on it my
self, I noticed you write of the 'poet 'as writers in general
I would think this would benefit my making it more personal
but that's just my thoughts on this after a first read ,
also "in which no toher person can compete. "
in which no (other) person can complete, ,,,,zigs

in which no toher person can compete.[other]

the lines-
and the hand with the pen solder
with ink with paper.

confuse me a little, is that solder as in attach one piece of metal to another with a soldering iron, or did you mean soldier?
either way it should be plural, solders or soldiers

That last stanza is prosaic, perhaps you could come up with something stronger?

Otherwise an interesting, thoughtful piece.

Hi Pixee, I wonder if you would write an alternate matching piece and let the poem come from the first person....possessive.

See what kind of poem on writing that would evoke.

I will give it a try. I haven't thought of that. It maybe a task
for me but I will try. Thank you for that suggestion.

Your Friend,
