“Breakable” (posted by Kerry)
“I wondered if I might inspire others to return to the comfort of pen and paper. I do not expect you all to rush about looking for an ancient bottle of ink (like I did) but I would love to see a photo of your work written in your own handwriting, or some kind of graphic presentation of your poem.”

About purplepeninportland
I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York.
My goal is to create and share poetry with others
who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve
in you, and feel your sparks as well.
Delighted to see you really do own a purple pen!!
This is a powerful poem. Thanks for participating in #inktober.

I should have typed it as well, handwriting not being my strong suit.

Oh, these unseen emotions can be so heavy on the spirit and the self. Their discovery can indeed break it all down. That “sink into a pit” resonated with me. Well penned!

Thanks, Annell. My mistake for not typing it as well. No one can ever read my handwriting, and it’s not even cursive!
