A Message from Your Pencil (poem)

 This month we're talking about our favorite office supplies. 

Goodness, there are so many I love: index cards, paper clips, journals journals journals! 

"junk" journal where I keep
Very. Important. Thoughts.

And what about post-it notes?? I use them everywhere and for EVERYTHING!

a post-it vision board (of sorts)
for a wip!

But the one office supply that has most captured my imagination is the pencil. Please enjoy this poem with a (simple) message. Pencil thanks you for reading. :)
