Today I wrote a word
Just one short word
It sat there awhile
All alone it sat
Until inspiration
Caused it to grow
And multiply itself
Creating a story
Of three thousand words
The power of pen
And inspiration
Can change the world

The quill speaks
Of days long ago.
In quivering
Quotations
It tells of quotidian
Events radiantly.

#NaPoWriMo 2019–Day 24–prompt is to write a poem that is inspired by a reference book. Locate a dictionary, thesaurus, or encyclopedia, open it at random, and consider the two pages in front of you to be your inspirational playground for the day.
(As you might guess I opened my dictionary to pages Q-R)
Evolution of Writing
A human Finger writes in the sand,
Words a heart needs to say.
And a dry Bone held in a hand,
Draws word pictures in moist clay.
A Reed blowing in a Egypt’s land,
Is used to scribe events of the day.
And Romans, in their culture so grand,
Invent the Stylus, so they say.
Anglo-Saxons cleverly planned,
To write books using a Quill as a way.
Then upon the world’s Grand-Stand,
The lead Pencil’s design is put on display,
Yet, Pencil writing was undermanned,
So ink Pens were created in various array.
But, for all those invented, both great and bland,
The Finger is still used to text and sign today.

Wonder…
Wonder if your pen could change a life?
Wonder if you used it to:
Stand up for a worthy cause,
Scribe encouraging words,
Sign to Volunteer,
Endorse a check,
Craft a poem,
Story,
Write!

In My Hand
My pen speaks
Of His wondrous works
Marvelous
Miracles
In my hand it is ready
To declare and write

My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer. Psalm 45:1 NKJV
