Mont Blanc
(for Chuck Bowie)
“But what is that stick-like thing
between notebooks and mouse?”
“That stick-thing by my mouse,
as you so elegantly phrase it,
is my Mont Blanc fountain pen.
It’s also a metaphor app.
You stick the blunt end in your ear
to wind up your brain,
then you carefully clean
the tip on a piece of paper.
If it leaves suitable marks,
you read them like Runes
and use them to create metaphors.
You can also use it to conduct music
or to take a thin, blue line for a walk.
It’s very useful for poets who don’t like
staring at computer screens, and with one
they rarely suffer from writer’s block.”
Thank you, Roger, for taking the time to play with metaphor! My favourite line? “You can use it…to take a thin blue line for a walk.”
Fab! Chuck
