Instructions for a Favorite Pen
Follow my lead—
first straight, then
hook, loop, and roll,
glide across the page
like a skater with sharp blades
on fresh ice.
Leave your mark
on my paper,
not my pocket.
Remember, I need you.
Don’t run away
in someone else’s hand.

A fine example of an apostrophe poem. Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing it.
Yes, that’s what it would say, especially someone is carrying it around. Thanks, Liz
