I like the imagery of this poem.

Here is the example I said I'd send. It is in email but I have also
attached it. If you have trouble opening it do let me know. This tumbling
tercet
includes the envoi although it is a very short envoi. I do hope everyone
enjoys the read.

After The Ink Spills
In the stillness of an ordinary moment
Is heard a whisper, an almost breathless
Miracle of words tumbling into
An opened jar of ink, and I listen
With a heart in need of their wisdom,
Their joy, their journeys, and their
Love, and my hand, trembling with
Creativity's anticipation, reaches for
The pen being held in the arms
Of an empty palette, safely comforted
Until the time is right, until the
Passion, the sweet voice of words, of painted
Metaphor, is perfect. I wait, barely
Breathing, unsure of where I will be taken,
But willing to acquiesce, to trust,
To believe in creativity's path, to
Believe in the art of writing, always
Knowing that all will be revealed to me
After the ink spills.
