The Poet's Instrument
May 11, 2017
There for my compulsions of cathartic release
A vacuum for my thoughts ‘til my mind is at peace
The greatest of listeners, absorbing every thought
Unfailingly present whenever you’re sought
Upon your exemplary performance, my success is dependent
With you in my grasp, my thoughts grow transcendent
Transporting me to where my mind is seldom sedentary
I yield to your craft, O slanderer of the ordinary

I wrote this poem when I was a sophomore; it is about a pen, the poet's instrument.
