I Prefer A Sheet
Of White
When I Take
My Pen
And Start
To Write
I Love To See
The Ink Soak In
On Paper Smooth
As Silky Skin
And As The Words
Form In My Head
I Write Them Down
In The Color Red
Scribbled Lines
On Paper Pages
Given A Life
To Live Through
The Ages

Yes, exactly. I have them fairly often actually.
I have been writing on paper a lot lately, mostly letters. I love the act and the result… It is so much more personal…

Yes, I totally agree! It is so much more sensual to touch, intimate and visually satisfying. Almost like artwork!

Thought you writing may be simple but the rmotiobs are always deep and heartfelt.

Interesting. I just wrote a similar piece for a good friend earlier today… It is funny because I so seldom actually write on paper anymore. It is generally an act reserved for those who are most close and loved.

How cool! A Twilight Zone moment?? Yes, I love to write on paper as much as I can. It seems so much more real and intimate with the touch of the paper and watching the ink and paper meeting in a literary “kiss”. And I don’t have to worry about the paper crashing like a computer can! I seem to always go back, more often to things I’ve put on paper.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment – so appreciated!
