What a wonderful little word and inventive subject. I’ve written of pens and paints, but not of ink, before now. I even read the history of ink and how it was and is made. Forgive me brother and sister writers. I got so excited—I wrote two twenty-two-word poems. Like money and sex, only too much poetry is enough.
5K Years Since
Inks. Invisible,
permanent. India’s art.
Printing or pens.
Words on paper,
not electronically;
ink, a catalyst to creativity,
with words and art.
Lines of Magic
See the flow on paper,
watch lines, curves, and shapes
appear in history, law, art;
even in silent music on a page.
Look both ways for waves of imaginative creations.
Mind the gaps for innovation’s utility and art’s beauty.
Our Literary Journey 
Ink and handrwriting make a much better impression than mechanically written things.

With me
Again and again
O my friend
My eyes can’t see you
Being defeated
Again in pain.

Caligraphy has an almost musical quality about it, the scripted words sing. Two beauties!

Dear Bill,
You are hereby forgiven. Both good reads. We’ll count them as one each. 😉 (India’s always been my ink…feh to those who call it Indian ink.)
Shalom,
