Parchment

Parchment

Parchment pristine crisp
Plume poisedΒ ink wisp
Notions amply ticks
Refine prudent picks

Moon rapture partake
Maudlin insomniac forsake
Verse nowt spoil bliss
Blight rued blot kiss

Come forth embolden bright
Quench thus restless night
Candle illuminates low
Yet rubric nary flow

Jovial shadows sway
On Walls gild display
Alight parchment stark
Frolic terrain unmark

Stilled so whist feat
Alas ne’er complete
Pell crumbles forlorn
Rune rendered stillborn

Thank you kindly Katina my inspiration was writer’s block lol it happens quite often. I remember my high school English teacher telling me to overcome the block just write whatever comes to mind even how the toothbrush felt on your teeth that morning sometimes I light a candle and go into detail how it makes me feel the scent the warmth it’s very enlightening. You can do that with pretty much everythingΒ

My Dear Lisa,

The "Parchment" paper that you write on, is inked with some of the most beautiful verse known.

All my love,
