A Pencil ✏️
A pencil.
Coloured black as jet
and brilliant yellow—
to signal her potency.

No lack
of a threatening tendency
with her heart set
on whittling out
her sharpened proclivity.

A tactful yet stabbing reality
surely never to forget—
for she stings less like a bumblebee
and more like a hornet.
