The Inkwell
The inkwell awaits,
Waiting patiently,
As my pen taps aimlessly
Somehow faithfully,
A little bit frustrated,
Although it may be belated,
But the words do bring me joy.
So I seek to play the ploy,
And write seeking to deploy
All the words formulated
That the inkwell had awaited,
With utter joy.

I wrote this for a Ralph Waldo Emerson comp back in 2019, trying to emulate his style and feel. I haven't been writing much as of lately, just going over some older stuff I posted so I bumped it. Thank you very much for commenting and adding to your RL.
Hope all is well.
