An Intimidated Poet Poem by Eila Mahima Jaipaul

An Intimidated Poet

Rating: 4.2


I lost my pen, love
it ran out of ink.
all I have left
is a pencil with
a chewed off
eraser...
and the task
of writing
about you
with no mistakes.

I really like this one. Finding the right words does often feel impossible. How to capture somebody that means so much on paper?

Oooohhhhh! that's a dodgy situation there Eila, I think breadcrumbs are supposed to work quite well as an eraser, though I've never tried it. Clever write indeed. Love Ernestine XXX

how charming and lovely. One of the best non rhyming poems I have read in awhile. So simple and sweet.

A short yet brilliant poem.. The use of the pencil with 'chewed' eraser is beautiful...
