Sharpening Pencil Poem by Sharad Rajimwale

Sharpening Pencil

Rating: 5.0


I cut my finger while sharpening the pencil.
I must sharpen it.
They sharpen their daggers and swords
to spill unknown blood.
But we need pencils sharpened
to save life.

I cut my finger.
A drop of blood oozed out
On the white paper.

I have written all that needs to be written.
