Comment from Patty Palmer
This was a cute poem. It has the reader thinking that the poem was about writing. Yes, dipping your nib was what you did back in the days that people used the feather pen that you dipped the nub of the feather into the inkpot. But, your poem puts another idea in place. I would have never thought you were talking about anything but poetry until I read your author's notes. Good luck with the contest.

Thanks for reviewing Patty. I can't help myself sometimes, slipping innuendo in.... so many idioms have it in English.
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
another wonderful poem about writing. Writing is a passion for many of us. I love to write. I love to express my thoughts on paper. It really does make a person humble.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This is a very clever poem, full of innuendo, some of which you allude to in your notes. I was glad that you didn't actually go too far in the poem, and enjoyed the subtlety very much. Good luck in the contest.

Better to be subtle than smutty. Thanks for your kind review.

Is this saying rendered today, or is it something from another decade. Sexual exploitation has left the workplace more so but has been replaced with older men and children, aka Epstein and friends.

If it mentions a nib then it is definitely a dated saying, like many of our idioms are, but we still know what they mean. I guess an updated one might be the following (but far less likely to be used in a poem): Don't shit in your own nest. (Sorry, I'm Australian. Se can be rather crass at times.)
The other sexual situation you mention is becoming horrifyingly prevalent.

If I am ever to see Austrailia, it'll have to be post mortality. Seats to small, distance too far for a man with two replaced knees but it is a dream. As an aside; I was offered a choice of duty stations in '69. One was Guam; the other Holt. The recruiters made my choice for me saying in season you can swallow a dozen flies in Holt with every breath of air. Where are you?

What a great entry. Writing about love whether good or bad is a great theme for any writer. Your short piece packs a great deal of power, especially on this site. I like the picture, but your words speak for themselves.

Hi there,
There's definitely something odd in the FanStory water today. The innuendo today, whether intentional or not is rife! At least ten pieces I've read...
Anyway, good job with this one. Pairing the dipping with passion works well.
All the best
