Inked Quill
Written: February 17, 2025 for Contest by Joseph May
**********************
Stalking dark bloom at night
Quick, lithe out of sight
Prowling stealth, jump right
Hushed, no sound at all
Felt lost, loped through wall
Hared wild, can't be found
Strained, waiting rebound
Inked heart without sound
Charging in hushed hour
Blooms this dear flower
Deafening hush dour
Mistress of the Quill
Twists you to her will
Ink in hand looks still
Wings served the goal scrawl
Sounds whisper, thoughts call
