Feathered Quill daisiesnfld: Feathered Quill . The slim and finely feathered quill Held by a hand in lace Poised, by the candlestick Ink warmed, waiting in its place . Pursed lips and furrowed brow Parchment awaits the date Words to flow swiftly now Night short, the hour late . Slowly quill, dipped into ink Begins its endless dance Transporting thoughts to paper In the night's hypnotic trance . Unwavering in its endeavors Relentlessly, the laced hand moves on And slowly drains the ink well With the feathered quill till dawn . With ink now dry the quill sighs The hand lies weary now and worn And the candlestick once so quick, To light the night gives way to morn . © DaisiesNfld  (Post deleted by eyeofthetiger2u7 ) daisiesnfld: Many thanks for that compliment, I do appreciate it.
