*****
The voice of the pencils calls our wandering mind,
Through echoing lands and echoing humans in wind.
The charm of nature is to be shed,
The beauty and laughter of love are to be heard.
Via the sorrow of fights
And the crown of kings,
We see happy, sad, and wild things.
What dreams shall we pursue?
What hope shall we give?
Ask the pencils,
Follow their believes.
No passion bids us wait,
The voice of the pencils is the voice of our fate.

Beautiful poem, Jingle. Loved the ending - "The voice of the pencils is the voice of our fate."

Beautiful poem and there is so much truth in it. A pencil is sharper than a sword.
Lovely poem on the power of the written word to take us far away and into other places.

Enjoyed your poem and really liked the way you ended it....My hubby writes wonderful poetry, but the pencil and me....well, we do not have your talent!
I just joined as a follower, so I will be watching for your next poem...
Stay creative,

A thoroughly beautiful poem. Pencils are my absolute passion; I never write with anything but them.

Someone told me that there exists a Museum dedicated to pencils in England. You should send them your poem just to see. I bet they would love it. Thanks for sharing.

I love how the pencils have so much power. It's been so much fun reading everyone's take on the photo.
Awesome, Jingle. Like Mr. Stupid, I really like "The voice of the pencils is the voice of our fate".
Good poem!
Youe poem is beautiful. It really is hard to know how a piece will turn out until you sit down to write it.
Very nice Jingle. Thank you for sharing once again a great poem. Blessings.
And the pencils write it all.
Nothing is too big or too small.
Bless you now my dreaming friend
And of your word, I pray no end.
Love Crystal

That was terrific. I like thinking of it as the voice of the pencils.
I have been charmed by the Voice of the Pencils...over 16 years at Our Humble High School!
Great job!! I love it!
the picture pulls it all together
You have a way with words. Very evocative!
nicely done Jingle the last line just sums it all up and is my favorite as well!
I love how the pencils seem to have a life of their own. We speak through the pencils what is in our hearts. So lovely and inspiring. Thanks for sharing and including me. Heartspell
the power of the pencils, which are the paintbrushes of the writer. together they create wonderful works, like this one. great poem!
Lovely poem, Jingle. I've read a few entries for this and I am always impressed by everyone's individuality and imagination.
The beauty of this poem is the fact that if you actually listen to the voice of the pencil, you'll realize "the voice of the pencils is the voice of our fate."
lovely association of words, a great poem ; well done jingle. wordwand
I like that pencil holder. Your poem is really nice.

Sorry I confused you.

Through echoing lands and echoing humans in wind....
beautiful poem:)
That ending line is so powerful - and so true! Great job!
Lovely!!!
You are very creative :-)
Great images in your poem, Jingle. Nice magpie.
The voice of the pencils certainly is the voice of our fate! And the voice of erasers is the voice of our will.
I found a strange attraction as a child to the shaving of pencils, as if I might uncover treasures, secrets, untold tales...
Well done.
I love this! a poet in ur soul u are!
The pencils can speak but only through hands,
A grip of description that takes us to lands.
A firmer grasp has it speaking in tongues,
A softer hold plays a song to be sung.
A reason to keep ones point sharp to a tee,
It allows you to speak and a chance to be free.
lovely poem and great tale!!
What would we do if our pencils didn't call to us? I like this, Ji! Thanks ...
