Toil, toil, my writer!
Toil, toil, my writer!
Buy your paper in bulk and your ink in black!
Instrument of the Inspired Quill,
flood the shelves with great works,
write truth on life’s pages
for you’ve been bound to inform us of your discoveries,
describe distant places and faces we can’t see,
retell stories of another for a another generation
necessitating your narrative.
We are hungry. Fill our mouths with words.
Author Note: if you are a writer and ever need someone to talk to. email me.
About the author
I live with my wife, an artist, in Indianapolis. Besides poetry, I like to take photographs, read books, travel overseas, and listen to news/political podcasts, college lectures and classic literature. You can read about my approach to poetry on my poetics page. To stay in touch, follow me on Twitter or connect on a variety of other social networks.
