green pen

you make me feel
like everything i do
with you
is better than
anything i can
even attempt
with any other implement

you make me feel
from the start
that this is art
that it would be wrong
not to pour a song
or poem
into my trivial tome

you make me feel
my tiny quirk
is a stand aganst work
because of my adoration
i'll never use you for a calculation
even if they insist
i'll never use you for a shopping list
you'll never be a tool of finance
though in the right circumstance
i may use you on the inlay of a cassette or
to set out a threat or in a love letter
if the content can just-
ify you - trust
that you'll have a mandate if
i'm feeling creative

you make me feel
you're the only stationery i adore
you've got something special at your core

I really like this one, and I agree, there is something about nice pens only being used for nice things. I wrote an essay in red once so my teacher had to mark it in green. She never forgave me!
