Dear Friend

by S.J. Tyler

It’s time again, my yellow pencil friend
To sit back and watch you dance
Shut my eyes, save for a crack
(Just to keep you on the lines)

I’ll let you carry my feelings to paper
A gap no one crosses but you

Your bright pink eraser
Need not be used
Since you create only that
Which must be told

Holding you loosely, I let you rip,
Your unique path choreographed
By the words in my mind

A lovelier show has never been seen
Then your slender body
Gracefully flowing across the page

You fly, you roll, you tiptoe
I’m in control but you have the real power
You filter clichés and let only pure original thought seep through

A true writer’s closest friend
Right beside her ballpoint pen.
