The quill

Power with a pen is stronger than any weapon known to man

 

Gold is precious to those who desire greed

A gun a companion to those who kill

But a quill is the master of swords

 

Ending vices, and jarring them to fruition

Desire and dance as the fires burn

An erotic dream

Foreplay and carnal lust

Or death to fit the scene

Candlelight in the darkness

A wax figure as it burns

 

The might of the nib and the well

Yielding garlands of green

Streams of cream

A knight in armor

Treachery and betrayal

End to war or climax of revolution

 

Tis the tellers tale to tell

And he shalt deal it with a decisive resolve

The fantastical longings of man are realized

into my favorites this goes...enough said!

Oooooh, I like it, I like it very much! Nicely flows, and I like how we "take in" the end result first, then the origin, in each line.

Tis the tellers tale to tell
And he shalt deal it with a decisive resolve
The fantastical longings of man are realized
The icing on the cake!

Such a valid statement that everyone seems to have forgotten. I loved this piece entirely! It flows nicely, gets the point across, and doesn't distract from the message with overly-flowery language. There really isn't anything I would change within this piece, except maybe the repetition of the line:
"With a flick a swish and a flourish"

in the third and fourth stanzas. It doesn't fit as nicely in the third, although, I'm not an expert by any means. Thanks for sharing your poem, I enjoyed it!

My, that is much better than what I had. Check out my piece "Wielding the Weapon of Mass Destruction". Good work. Kudos to you.

I love this....the writer is the creater, in complete control of the composition and can be as daring, provacative, subtle, gentle, outrageous, or malovent as he or she desires....what power the pen wields. This can't help but make me feel gleeful !! Yeah !!
