Comment from Mark Kuglin
Nice work...It tells a story in a very limited space.
In it's current length though, I would have liked to see something that was as predictable and straightforward.
I think this would be a great lead for a longer piece.
The following stanzas could be a bucket list.
I still want to see or do X

Thank you very much, and a good idea

This really sounds like a writer's point of view. Not many use the pen with the ink these days. Years ago, that is what a person would have to use, then new technology brought us the pen.

Comment from Wyon Stansfeld
Well that is not likely to be a very substantial story, then, given that ink dries fast and so, surely there will be a lot that isnt left unsaid. Unless of course your story is so pithily wise that it encompasses all. It got me thinking maybe there is some deep paradox I am missing though I remain a bit mystified -- so only a 4

This is elegant and perfect and perfectly fits the writing prompt. And I really like it. I will surely quote it once I know who wrote it. (Apparently I still owe this thing words)

Your poem reflects my own feelings and I would think the feelings of everyone at this sight. You stated it in such a way, that I had to chuckle, because it is simple and I agree. Just wish I had thought of it. Lol

Smiling here. As every writer who reads this slowly nods their head and murmurs "Yes, me too...."
A very smart theme for the audience!
I've got nothing but affirmative things to say!
Good luck!

Comment from lyenochka
I really enjoyed this brief poem which summed up a writer's life. That is an ambition we all have and perhaps what motivates us to write. Hope this does well in the contest!

I like your fifteen syllable poem- good word count - excellent picture presentation- clever poem inspiring thought on the part of the reader- instead of trying to be so simplistic even young children can understand - stifling creativity - my opinion-good job. AP

Comment from Ginda Simpson
These fifteen syllables are impactful and illustrate how most of us writers feel. It's amazing to me just how much can be said with so few words, when the right ones are chosen. Well done. Good luck in the contest.
