Inkstainability

Folder: 
Vintage Words

.

No other word works here.

The rest of the dictionary

is unemployed. The pen

can no longer write the more

for lack of inkstainability.

.

The stress marks come

as exclamation points. Periods

come in threes indicating

endless lists.

.

Words strain and try

to explore and express ways

to feel, but there exist no

questions marked or

otherwise to answer

better one touch of a

pen to page or a pencil's

tip to a napkin.

Glad you stopped by last July  Wink. Who said late was better than never? I think it applies here. When I get only 1 comment on a poem (& such an awesome one) I say from the heart, "Thanks for the read." - Stella
