The opportunity arrives –  

Grab the pen or forget –

It’s godsent – a now or never –

Whatever choice – don’t fret –

 

Say – isn’t this a masterpiece –

A handmade fountain pen –

The special one you’ve waited for –

A holy grail for men –

 

Look at the ornamented body –

Especially the gold –

Look at the river and pedals –

Cherry blossoms flowing –

 

But take in the numbers –

No rubies or gemstones of such –

What’s a pen this price worth to you?

My wallet screams “Too much” –

 

One last look at its radiance –

Unparalleled writing –

Exquisite abalone shells –

Yearn overpowering –

                

Here I sit with my holy grail –

Ink trailing on paper

The experience and the joy –

Everlasting treasure –
