The brave Indian and his pen.
The brave Indian and his pen
My friend Ruth sent me a
Picture of a brave Indian
with his pen and challenged
Me to write a poem about
What I thought the picture
Meant. So here goes nothing
My friend!
I’ve studied this picture
For a bit from what I
Can see is the Indian
Looks like he’s
Sitting on his throne
With his Indian drum behind
Him. He looks to me like he’s
Posing for photograph as if he’s
Waiting for somebody to take
His photograph. As for his pen
I think it represents all of his
Heritage and the pen has passed
Down from one generation to the
Next! And his loved ones that have
Passed on throughout his life. but mostly
I think it represents that he’s the
Chief of his own tribe.
