A Pen
Growing up I loved to write. I wrote stories and series for myself and it would be pages among pages of hand written stories or books. I remember I had written 500 pages of a book more than ten years ago that I still open and edit. All of these were handwritten first. I would use a paper pad and a pen. I was was always very picky when it came to using the writing equipment. My journal has a specific pen I use otherwise it feels like I had committed a crime. I once bought a Swarovski pen specially for my leather journal. The weight of it was perfect, but I had written with smoother pens before. Yet, this pen reminded me that I can sparkle too because of course it had Swarovski crystals in it. I kept it in a box that I would take out every time I journaled. This was not my favorite pen though. The easiest pen I have ever used was from a company that you could purchase from Chapters/Indigo. It was called poppin because they had used bright, fun, colors to make writing supplies wonderful. I remember the first time I used it. I was in university and was in need of very good pens because I did not have a reliable laptop to carry to my classes. I picked up the box I bought and picked one out of the box. I took the little gel bead off the top that blocks the ink. I placed it on the paper and it started to flow, it was the most pleasant feeling I felt in a long time. As soon as it touched the paper the pen wanted to write more, it wrote so smoothly I immediately hid the other pens back into my backpack so no one could “borrow” it we all know that meant you were never seeing that pen again. The ink was deliciously smooth writing across my notebook. I wanted to keep going even after I was done. I started doodling and found joy in writing again. That’s how much a pen can change your day. I know it’s such an adult thing to say. I wrote with other pens too such as the frixion pens because an erasable pen that actually erases. All that’s left is the indent on the page how ingenious! I remember in elementary they were “erasable” but you could still see remnants of blue on the page and if you wrote on top of it, it looked sloppy.

I think it flows quite nicely! You're being featured as part of VSS Dynamic Duo starting today! Congrats!
lol this gave me a good wholesome laugh
Lovely, unique, and well-written! 💜
I like it. It’s original and has a bit of innocent fun about it.
This one made me giggle a little. I am getting that silly vibe which I like a lot. I like that the branches became a skeleton. Making them both alive and human. Goes perfectly with the image. 🤗❤️
This was fun & fab! 🧡🍂🧡🍂
I love this! A great take on the challenge
Also the song at the end is of course (fall) “At your Feet” by Crowded House- and while it has nothing to do with leaves, I couldn’t get it out of my head this week. 😅
I like the way your mind works here, Grz. Naked trees could launch a whole clothing line of being unclothed 😁 *Pay me no mind. I amuse myself nowadays* Best of luck with the challenge!
Beautiful haiku… you’re sure back with a bang!🤩
Naked trees. Imagine what the elements would do to their clothes. Ha ha. Trees are so proud of it all though. They told me so.
Really like the funny image and this is fall in late November. Good job.
Haha! I love this Grz! Those trees are so confident, maybe even more so, in the nude! I see I have a message from you! Going to look now. ✨🩷
I feel it flows very well. Loved it so much!
Very creative and great imagery
Thanks for the shout out, Grz. And I think that you and I have the same view of Autumn and what it does to trees from the haikus we're creating!
