In Pursuit of Poetry

March 16 - Dot - Pen and Paper

March 16, 2018
And now I am officially up to date! So which poem should I chose today? An Irish poet might be nice.... given that tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day. I typed in dedication and found this one that caught my eye.... from another interesting website.


Pen and Paper
by Dot

I love the look of words
written down line by line;
their flirtatious teasing
along feint ruled ivory.
The gentle drop of letters
below unrestricting lines;
the emotion immortalised
in each cross and dot.
Most of all, I admire
the finality:
the beauteous dedication
and commitment
of that pen... to this paper.

This was written August 2014 before I set off on the Camino de Santiago

I am not sure who Dot is... I found her poem at www.hellopoetry.com. She does not give a last name, perhaps she is like Madonna.... whoever she is, I like this poem as I too, love the look of words written down line by line.

Happy writing today, my friends.
