The Power Of The Pen In black ink
I pen markings
upon a piece of paper
to express my sentiment.
I must write
so you will read
and you may possibly
identify with me.
You relate and experience
with what is written
to whatever extent
you do desire.
If I stretch out
with my emotions
and we touch
we could have understanding.
I extend my pen in hand in friendship.

How lovely Del...........I honestly feel you reaching out to me across those thousand's of miles that separate us; I love reading your written word for it touches my heart and my soul in many ways. Good form, super word flow, I pray your pen never runs dry.
Merry Christmas my friend and may the Lord bless you always, Love, Claire

Awe, Dellena. You've definately expressed yourself with this one. We all have different reasons for writing, and at times even we stray from those. I try to portray the times, the reactions, and the things people share ie...current events. I'm not good at being friendly (lol).
If I stretch out
with my emotions >>these are awesome words. Short and to the point, yet touching and inviting.
and we touch
we could have understanding.
I must write
so you will read
and you may possibly
identify with me. >>>this is my least favorite verse. It's well written and definately should be a part
of this work, but I can't say that my poetry 'fits' that sentiment. Maybe that is
where I am lacking.
The work is perfectly written and goes on my list this month.
Smiles to you! Ellen

Simply, but with impacting purity, Dellena, you portray the writer's
almost spiritual imperative to write. As denigrated as it so often might
be, you step forward with a disarming innocence the anti-intellectual,
I'm certain, must find a rebuke.
To them, these minimalists of all that is possible in mankind, we can
only write to, "show off". Anything finer must, in their poorly developed
scope, be purely pretense. I'm certain this will be a definite requirement
for the thought police idiots like Gingrich promotes...to be a dolt self-
satisfied in your doltdom, even sublimated in it.
I know of no other meaningful way to reach another than: "I extend my pen
in hand in friendship". Yes.
