Blue Ink

Written for The Director's "Blue Ink" screenplay seed back in January.

Blue Ink

There’s a smudge of ink upon the page
A dot of blue on the writer’s stage
There’s a plant tucked nearby, sage
Still vivid though faded with age

The ink is blue, deep and cool
Seeping through both line and rule
Indelible, permanent the ink pool
A writer’s everlasting tool

Once penned, everlasting
Once written, ever clasping
Blue ink cannot be undone
None can erase, not one

For blue ink is forever
And it fades, never
What will you pen?
For it cannot be taken back again.

  2. I like it! Very well done - the last two lines sound so eerie, like some sort of cryptic warning ... *is a fantasy nerd, and will shut up now* xD

  4. Ooh, that's good! Nay, excellent!
    Do you mind if I use this in a compilation of poetry I'm putting together? (I'll say that you wrote it, of course)

    1. Hey, Pathfinder! What sort of compilation are you talking about? Would it be for your personal use? Or something bigger? Let me know!

  6. Oh, it's just for personal use. Nothing's being published or anything, if that's what you're wondering.
