A Writer And His Ink Pad Poem by nimal dunuhinga
A Writer And His Ink Pad
He tries to collect the hidden picture in the smudged pad.
Oh! A wearied person dipped in a bottle of ink and he attempted to commit suicide by drowning,
But the bottle is empty.
Then he tries again to behead himself by his old rusty nib.
* I dedicate this to Kawabata Yasunari, Ozamu Dasai & Yukio Mishima the three selected Japanese novelists and also Ernest Hemingway the American, all of them committed suicide of frustration.
Very surreal. Death by pen and ink. Unique as always. Kind regards, Sandra

The black dog snaps at the heals of many a wordsmith. So often the sensitivity that is needed to express the human condition can tip over into darkness. This eloquent poem is an touching eulogy to all those fine writers who have died at their own hands. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
