I love when these words flow from hand to pencil to paper.
The words flow through my veins and over to my hands.
From there, the pencil and paper become beautiful.
Although I question the words when they are in my body,
I question nothing when the reach their ultimate destination.
Someone once said that pencil and paper are part of the body,
And now today, I believe their words more than anything else.
Without the pencil and paper, I fear that I am nothing human,
So I continue to write with these extra body parts
Because these words will still be here when I no longer remain.

Poetry: Pencil & paper

Take this pencil from my face
This piece of paper from my space
I do not feel like writing any poetry today
This writing
by Carol Gioia
Pencil and paper,
primitive tools,
recording the words

Imparting wisdom,
inspirational seeds,
or
by Jenifer Rose
Some call it old-fashion
For many its obsolete
Personally for me though
It simply can't be beat
The feel of the pencil
Pencils overflowing
spilling longing
all over my page
A messy contrivance of
shadow lines unreal
words giving lie to themselves
A marriage of pencil and paper
creates a union which gives birth
to a wailing of words.
Words born from experience...
or not.
