Tried And Tested Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

My pencil holds a multitude
of varied possiblities.
Which I accept with gratitude
I grasp the opportunities

To write my thoughts in black and white
on any subject that I choose.
Expressing sorrow or delight
enabling me to share my views

With other poets on the net.
Who also share their thoughts with me
although in fact we have not met.
The common bond is poetry.

I am old fashioned proud to use
The simplest of technology.
A pencil is the tool I choose
it helps my thoughts flow easily.

I don’t compose on my P.C.
Though I suppose I should learn to.
I’d rather scribble happily
in pencil as I usually do.
