Listen to the world’s best poetry read out loud.
Inklings
Inklings - Samuel Menashe
There's no etymological connection between 'ink' and 'inklings' but I was intrigued by the fact they seem so close in the first syllable.
Inklings
Inklings
Inklings sans ink
Cling to the dry
Point of the pen
Whose stem I mouth
Not knowing when
The truth will out
