Pen's letter
         2
     Penner
This is a preface to my letter
As I write to my great handlers

Oh dear Penner
I need your listener

Expressing my endless gratitude
For the innovation of my attitude

My existence was a coma
Till you buffed out from a corner

I lived in illusional illiteracy
Till you painted me with beautiful literacy

As the paints are inept in the truancy of the painters
So I'm in the absence of my penners

I'm just a stagnant sculpture
Without you no posture

Without your existence
I'm a gone pretence

You're my pulchritudinous  gown
That flaunts down the town

You're the beauty I put on
That your absence makes me a demon

You're my nudity expression
That switches human into ejaculation

You're the soul I live
You're the air I sniff.

In you, I found solace
That I do anything peacefully apace

Regard this a preface
To my letter of gratitude and grace.
