Fountain Pen

I use this fountain pen,
Snug in my grip,
To delve into
The caverns
Of my mind
Blood wells up
Often.
But I find that
It makes for
Good
Ink.

Personal, poignant, and to the point. Well done.

Thank you for your uncommonly kind comment. :)

[Gaia Octavia]

But of course 😉

[Firebird]

You make me think I need to try harder.

[Zugzwang]

Funny, I've often thought the same about you! That phoenix haiku springs to mind. It was a cracker!

[Firebird]

:-) thanks!

[Firebird]

I really like that. So short yet so powerful. Almost grotesque yet beautiful too. Delve deep. I hope it isn't too painful.

[Zugzwang]

It's all good, Firebird. No pain, no gain as they say. I get a lot of release from it too.

[Firebird]

Yes I know.

Yes, I have to agree. Thank you for your comment.

Thank you so much. My poem may be a little derivative, I fear, as I have been reading a bit of Charles Bukowski lately. But I think we are all influenced by what we read. He can be such an ogre but there is no denying his power. Thank you for your wonderful comment.

I echo the remarks made by our colleague - succinct, but with a nice complexity. Very nice.

[Zugzwang]

Thank you, DirectTangent. I'm flattered and appreciate your input.

Ha, so simply stated in so few words, yet complete and complex at the same time. Very eloquently stated. I love this.

[Zugzwang]

Thank you so much, Acoustic. I am humbled and pleased you enjoyed it. Have a good day!
