Ode to penmanship

poem · 2014

Mark on paper
Straight, curved, up and down
Continuous, spaced evenly, point
Mindful of shape

Mark on paper
Charming, flowing, uniform, individual
Message made clear
Personality emerging through

Mark on paper
Black, Blue, Purple, Gray
Slanted, from left to right
Code, made to share
Conscious of movement
Controlled and measured
Rhythmic crusade
