121722-2 sonnet Ebonite To The End

Ebonite To The End

The golden plate or filled won’t match vermeil

The high carat plate on sterling silver,

Shows up better than fourteen ever may;

The substance felt in hand will deliver.

The rhodium pen has shiny smooth feel,

Always gleaming bright with purest touch,

The heavy metal wield with polished zeal

Outshines the golden pens within my clutch.

The gold in hand has added hand appeal,

And notable to any wary eye,

That there’s a whole hunk of golden metal,

To really think the others even vie.

Still, light and lively pens repay control

When light and lively rhymes are on a roll.
