NaPoWriMo Day 8

For today's prompt, pick a tool, make that the title of your poem, and write your poem.


Pen


My right pocket always has a pen
in it.  Heavy and silver, usually; snagged
on the fabric and peeking out.


I love the way a good pen feels when you 
hold it.  Solid and thick, sturdy between
your fingers; a tool of substance.


Sometimes I prefer the smooth, liquid
gel, gliding off the ball.  Other times I like
a sharp tip scraping the page.  


And after the pen has wreaked it's havoc
or fostered love or gone into space,
it becomes my trusty sidekick again.
