Pen Poem 3 - calligraphy

Hello again. While I'm on a bit of a roll, I thought I'd throw in a new pen poem. This one is particularly inspired by Leigh Reyes and her wonderful work ... thankyou Leigh (you can see her blog here).

Here it is in text:

A calligraphic line conveys

An edge and shade to thoughts. The ways

We take each word and give it form

In calligraphic context warms

The letters and the things we say

It gives them depth and substance way

beyond a printed word or phrase

Our personality ablaze with

dips and swirls and shadings tells

Our reader the pervading source

Of who we are; of how we feel.

A calligraphic heart is real.
