Chasing Quill

by Malcolm, under Poetry

One warm summer day

I’m writing away

When the pen decides to play

A lovely little game


It runs to table’s edge

Leaping off with a grin

Forcing me to tredge

Emerging out from within 


Pacing native roads

The utensil remains out of site

Flying through the countryside

About as fast as a kite


I rush through the town

Covering all ground

But no matter who I ask

The pen can’t be found


Tired and exhausted

I stumble back home

Sitting down in my chair

Letting out a loud groan


And that’s just when

That tricky little pen

Comes back to my den

Asking to make amends


And so, I take that rascal in my hand

As the sun sets outside the glen

Writing about how much I ran

All for the sake, of one little pen
