The quill was poised to write. Like a cobra ready to strike. Ink on the vellum. Thick like venom. The pen held steady, to write words that are adored. Words that pierce like a sword. The ink does not fade. Like blood on the blade. Now we have a word processor. With its own spell checker. But nothing beats the paper and pen. Like the cobra and sword, leaving marks now and again.
