An assortment of lines
scrawled on sheets of white,
a jumble of meaning quietly shines.
-
To some merely scribbles
swirling eddies,
no deeper meaning untold quibbles.
-
Yet to others they hold
meaning so rich,
more than fountains of gold.
-
Sweeping Strokes
furiously jotted,
mind to hand they must coax.
-
Holding unquestionable truth
slathering's of salacious lies,
rendering gentle folk rabidly uncouth.
-
Countless adages
the pen is mightier than the sword,
paint vivid collages.
-
Oil confidently claims the title
liquid gold,
yet in the course of history, not so vital.
-
It doesn't take much to think
Humanity's greatest discovery,
Ink.
