Dear Friend by S.J. TylerIts 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)
Ill 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
Im in control but you have the real power
You filter clichés
and let only pure original thought seep through
A true writers closest friend
Right beside her ballpoint pen.
