#2

An instrument so small

Yet capable of stern command

It can will those to obey

With a simple mark

It can come in any hue

Though plain yellow is best

Gaining character as chipped away

Giving its life for words

It can make mistakes

Yet undo them

With a rub, or scratch, or smudge

Leaving careless beginnings undone

It takes the hands of writers

With the style that suits them best

Slanting, small, careless, or neat

Capturing worthy thoughts
