Leaking Pen
When your favorite writing tool malfunctions, it can really throw you off.

Ink collects
at the tip.
It blots onto the sheet
as I write.
***
It smears on my hand
as I write across
the page.
***
It happens when ideas
formulate
then become distraction
as I write.
***
I waste time
rewriting from smudges.
I waste time
battling this ink crime.
***
Finally, I give up,
ideas unresolved,
ideas lost
to a leaking pen.
It make a mess
over the words
I write.
