Magpie 18


Love pencils.
Don't use'em much
Anymore-


Fresh sharpened pencils
Erect in a porcelain
souvenir.


Like a Manhatten
Skyline;
Pleasing
To the eye!

Thanks for your comment on my last post, Rel. Yes I have lost weight, about 20 or so kg.

I have a little trouble with the scratching sound the pencil makes when I write with it. I do like the fact that I can easily erase it though.

LIked the vowel shift at the end if each stanza in place of a straight rhyme!
