Ode to My Pen
My pen, you are a trusty bud
You're always a ready helper
Mostly write what you'd never
never thought possible
Like a note to mother, working a
puzzle, stick behind my ear
Plucked you out of a cup at the bank
More there but you were the one I saw
Kind of like love at the first sight
Even the store with gobs of pens
Stores have oodles of others to choose
I know you friends at the bank have me
Pretty, black with somber green
Hanging out my front pocket always
You write so smoothly with black ink
Black to match your color, goes well
The clip I let show, how proud I am
The folks are envious, you are so special
I lend you out to the Mrs. and others
I watch every thing they write
Making sure they give you back
They like you too, ask for you always
Kidnaper some are known
Into their pockets they'd thrust, I won't let
And when night falls you are the first
First to brush your teeth, put up your hair
A special spot on my little night chest top
You guard my expensive watch and
ever present chapstick, too draped in black
Smart phone is always your last bud to show

- On Day Nine NaPoWriMo had suggested writing an ode 'to an object'. I had something else to write that day, but the idea sounded good. I'm doing that prompt idea here tonight. I don't write many odes but like them much. Here goes . . .

I write on my laptop... been a while since I used a pen for anything other than maybe filling a form where they still insist on a paper trail!!!
I'm like Rajani nowadays, but I do remember a time when I was devoted to certain pens, and also good paper!
I still like to write with a fountain pen and purple ink, Jim.
I'm all for pens for the first draft. The computer is for the tidy-up phase. Nicely written.
Alas I am very bad at using my pen.... my keyboard is what I prefer.... it would be cool to have such a relatable tool.
Your special pen was a pick out of many that brings you comfort daily while I have several forlorn, neglected, and scattered all about my house. :)
I keep a note pad and pen next to my bed, I've been known to compose many a poem in a dream-like state .. last night being a prime example. I have given thought to keeping my cell turned on to 'video' in case I want to record what I just dreamt.
They come and go, reproduce or commit mutiny it seems to me. Mine fon't brush their teeth. I love a good one.
yes you cant beat a great pen and like me you love yours! Keep writing !
That is a splendid pen!
An ode to your faithful pen. Nice
I love your ode to a pen!! A very important instrument and worthy of its very own ode. I always pluck those pens out of the bank's cups!!
It's nice to have a good, reliable pen!
Pens like to sprout their little legs and walk away. I can't tell you the # of pens I've bought over the years that just disappear, never to be seen again.
