Pens, Poems and Paragraphs

We are the souls who dance on fallow page; Who hide behind dark droplets from a quill, Attempting to fit ranting to the rage, Manipulating ink quite as we will. We balance paragraphs on thinnest sheet. Some call us clever verbal acrobats Who tightrope walk upon iambic feet While wearing varied anapestic hats. The thickened plot we ladle out like soup, Ranging wide from mystery to mirth. From moon to sun to moon, 'til eyelids droop, We seek the fullest measure of word's worth.      For just reward, we ask no more than this:      A coin, a laurel wreath, a lover's kiss.
