May I borrow your pen?
The one that holds
Genius within
Poking holes
Through many poets
Paper thin skin
Leaking ink
That makes them
Re- think
Their careers
Over again
May I borrow your pen?
The one that holds
The master key
That will unleash
My inner master piece
A sword
With the blood of
Literary casualties
Wounding other writers
Who try to compete
With your awesomeness
…May they rest in peace
May I borrow your pen?
I’ll try to remember
To give it back
But the power
Of the ballpoint
Is something no poet
Should ever lack
I promise
To use its power for good
Anything else would be a sin
So what say you?
Lend to a friend...your inspiration?
…May I borrow your pen?
