Colourful writing

We're adding colour to writing in issue #285 of your weekly poetry shot

In a world filled with
bland, dull tones, I prefer to
use a bright palette.

Recently I got a brand new fountain pen (the Kaweco Al Sport Piston Filler if you want to be precise), and I filled it with the blue ink that came with it. And it's a bit... mweh. So, now I'm writing a lot so that I can fill it with a brigther, more vibrant colour. One thing I wrote, is the poem above.

How are you bringing more colour into the world?


Keep me writing by buying me coffee or susbcribing to my hypersub.


Poésie de la vie

When playing with my new pen, I also realised I needed to clean one of my pens that I hadn't used in a while, because it didn't write that well anymore. I went looking for a video that would tell me the best way to clean, and that, in turn, drew me into a fountain pen rabbit hole. This is one of the videos I found and wanted to share with you:
