For the 2025 November PAD Chapbook Challenge,
poets write a poem a day in the month of November.
Day 3 is to write a how blank poem.
behold the rolling sea unfurled
upon a barren page...
how wonderful the ways of ink
as swirls upon a stage
of parchment, paint a blossom pink
Or, spill a canon, sage
how endless are the avenues
and trails that ink-blades blaze
through wilds borne from font-curlicues
centuries cannot faze
behold the rolling sea unfurled
upon a barren page
or, ink-frigates that sail the world
while blizzards brawl and rage
how holy are the howls of ink
unveiled for all to see
far able to eclipse the wink
of mere mortality
how wonderful, how terrible
the ways of ink reveal
the broken, yet invincible
beauty of love's appeal
how wildly ink attempts to snare
Thought's beast and set it free
upon a stage of parchment where
a poem waits to be
how wonderful the ways of ink
how strangely 'fun', the verge
of waiting on a poem's brink
to see what will emerge
Janet Martin
how wonderful the ways of ink
as swirls upon a stage
of parchment, paint a blossom pink
Or, spill a canon, sage
