Answer 3

pencil, pencil i love you so

you help me draw

and let me know

that what i write

i can erase

but what i don't

stays lost in space

Answer 4

I don't but i can write one quickly here:

My pencil rigid and strong becomes the extension of my mind.

Answer 5

I am a lead dishwasher.

Seven relatives and I

Assisted in my birth.

I am a complex combination of miracles:

A worker in the oil field,

The chemist at the factory,

The miner of graphite,

And a child in a first grade classroom.

And don’t forget the ancestors

Who helped transport

60 carloads of hemp

From Mexico to Mississippi.

I, Pencil, simple though I am,

Would rather be french fries

And a side of ham.

(Milton Friedman as interpreted

by Leonard E. Read)

Pencil Shavings

by Bryan Bale

Pencil shavings,

Fallen to the carpet in the classroom,

  Stuck between the fibers--

Stepped on by callous feet,

Broken and ground in ...

  Then vacuumed away when everyone has gone.

Tomorrow they will be forgotten,

Gone, except the black stain

  Hidden among the dyed brown and red ciphers,

Noticed only by the lonely misfit

Who sits alone on the back row

  And falls away forgotten.

  

Pencils

  



  My pencil is made of pine wood.

Its writing is not as it should.

With each splinter I'm sad

With each break I get mad

So it's in Pencil Heaven for good.

Alex Miller

*POEMS*

THE PENCIL (Author: Raslan Abaji)

The pencil on the table

Your face is in my mind

The way youre looking to me

Gave birth to the dead inside

Yet the pencil is silent

There is only the will

To draw the curves of your face

To feel your skin.

I saw you in my dreams.

It was so clear and pure.

And here you shine again.

The only dream I had

Is the one I shared with you.

The others I forgot,

The wind tarred them apart

And the dream lifted me up

Waked the artist inside.

The pencil kissed the paper

So tender and so sweet

Gave birth to those purest

Stars anyone will ever meet.

So charming and so warm

The pearls were dropping down

Giving life to those flowers,

Blossoming all around.

And on the paper it carved

The traces of your soul,

The wonders of your sorrow

The sweetness of your faith.

The pencil left the paper

Yet there is more to draw

No one should ever see it

But in our hearts we know

And on the edge of darkness

It was cold beside you

It was ever dead, yet

It lived for seeing you.

And on the paper its soul

Was poured, beneath your tears.

Yet on the paper it died,

long time ago.

D'am c'hreion (TO MY PENCIL) Poem:

You probably thought you'd been abandoned,

Like something rejected,

That no longer pleases...

You stayed in your dark corner.

The spider, out of pity,

Had woven a bed for you,

For resting,

And for dreaming.



With joy I found you again,

You little thing!

I'm happy to caress you

With my sluggish fingers,

You who remained so prudent

In your dark corner

For a whole week...
