Tower Poetry Society
Tower Poetry (1991)
cover art by Kim DavisThe Filled Pen
glossy paper whiteness stares at me
mirrors empty thoughts
out of a dense fog ideas
slowly propel to the foreground
pen manoeuvres as rampant
thoughts vie for attention
relief escapes my lips as the pen
frantically scribes
words and thoughts saturate the page
shatter glossy reflection of paper
evening shadows dance in celebration
I lay down my pen — temporarily satisfied
