A Pen
Growing up I loved to write. I wrote stories and series for myself and it would be pages among pages of hand written stories or books. I remember I had written 500 pages of a book more than ten years ago that I still open and edit. All of these were handwritten first. I would use a paper pad and a pen. I was was always very picky when it came to using the writing equipment. My journal has a specific pen I use otherwise it feels like I had committed a crime. I once bought a Swarovski pen specially for my leather journal. The weight of it was perfect, but I had written with smoother pens before. Yet, this pen reminded me that I can sparkle too because of course it had Swarovski crystals in it. I kept it in a box that I would take out every time I journaled. This was not my favorite pen though. The easiest pen I have ever used was from a company that you could purchase from Chapters/Indigo. It was called poppin because they had used bright, fun, colors to make writing supplies wonderful. I remember the first time I used it. I was in university and was in need of very good pens because I did not have a reliable laptop to carry to my classes. I picked up the box I bought and picked one out of the box. I took the little gel bead off the top that blocks the ink. I placed it on the paper and it started to flow, it was the most pleasant feeling I felt in a long time. As soon as it touched the paper the pen wanted to write more, it wrote so smoothly I immediately hid the other pens back into my backpack so no one could “borrow” it we all know that meant you were never seeing that pen again. The ink was deliciously smooth writing across my notebook. I wanted to keep going even after I was done. I started doodling and found joy in writing again. That’s how much a pen can change your day. I know it’s such an adult thing to say. I wrote with other pens too such as the frixion pens because an erasable pen that actually erases. All that’s left is the indent on the page how ingenious! I remember in elementary they were “erasable” but you could still see remnants of blue on the page and if you wrote on top of it, it looked sloppy.

Poppy! I wrote one for this prompt, like 2 weeks ago, but I don't wanna publish it to Vocal because it might be publishable elsewhere (I rather love it). I'm torn!! (Maybe Discord?)
Decided to just focus on one prompt this time: https://customer-opinion.top/poets/see-me-m4q60hgt%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E. Thanks for the prompts!

Thanks again for another set of interesting prompts.
Here you go! https://customer-opinion.top/poets/strawberry-ruse%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E Thank you for your prompts!
So...looks like I might be first out the starting block - https://customer-opinion.top/poets/me-ves-y-sufres%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E - makes a bloody change, eh? Sorry for the sadness in this one.
My heart was GLASS but you thought it was DISPOSABLE. Think you can SABOTAGE me? Think again because I have everything to bring you down in that CASSETTE. It's either that or Karma would push STRAWBERRIES up your ass. You choose. That's what Mr Brain came up with, lol. I'm glad it doesn't have a deadline. I'll see what I can do.
Yay!! More!!!!! Ooh, i Love the words…”cassette” is my fave right now. Nice update. I think removing the winners is a solid change. Gives it a more creative focus. I’m thrilled to try this one, VB! 😊❤️
Looking forward to reading many masterpieces inspired by April’s prompts.✅🤩
Woohoo! Cheers to another round of great prompts!!
Let's be honest, I completely forgot that tomorrow is April 1st. Thanks for the reminder! So excited for the new prompts!
BOOM! Another Poppy's Prompt Thingo. Excited about this, as ever!
