The pen’s ink, ‘tis blood

Though black or blue it does bleed

Exsanguination

Red with the artisan’s soul

Staining the finest paper

    Sometimes green too. Never understood what the point of that color in the multi-ink pens was.

      I don’t know either. Although I like green, it would never be my choice of an ink color. :)

    Wow – the big hugemongous word – never seen in a poem. Only on CSI or Criminal Minds. Totally cool.
