I lay
loyalty
on the lines
that curl from curious
to consolidate as considered,
follies that find their form
someplace between
the pledge of pen
and integrity
of ink.

Enjoyed this poem and moved on but found the phrase “integrity of ink” lingering in my mind. I like this phrase!
Thanks My dear. It popped up from nowhere and stuck with me too. The truth is out there, I guess, especially when the pen finds its rythme
SO glad you’re back Dami… missed you while you were away. Please keep writing the words and picturing Paris. Thanx so much,!
