The paper soaks up the fresh ink greedily The words sink in readily But my teardrops smudge them Creating quite the mayhem
This post was written in response to Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt #215. The Weekend Writing Prompt is hosted by Sammi on her blog – Sammi Cox. The challenge is to include the word “ink” and write a prose/poem in 22 words. Click on the links to read entries by my fellow bloggers and to know more about this challenge.
I love the old school ink pens. Somehow, they manage to make even my handwriting look very elegant and sophisticated! But for practical reasons, ballpoint pens are all I use these days. What about you? Would you prefer ink pens or their more evolved cousins? Do let me know!
A twenty-something who loves to write short stories, especially ones with a twist. You might find a couple of poems, life experiences and rants in the mix too. :)

This was very well-written… especially the line about teardrops smudging them. Ink pens and ballpoints are fine, but Ms Word is the most convenient:)))
Thank you so much. I’m so pleased to hear that. Haha. Good one! So true. M S Words is the world’s most convenient when it comes to writing. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. ❤️
