Ode to the Bic
My orange #2 0.7 mm mechanical pencil, cheap yet sturdy, bears no fancy click action or fancy grip. Yet it is very reliable, and recieves alot of use. Tainted by the remains of previous mess-ups, the once white eraser sits firmly ontop of the cartridge....ready for the next task ahead. Serving as a source of entertainment, in boring times i spin the top to make a clicking noise. It can sometimes be found clinging onto the inside of my pocket, awaiting its next task. Ode to the Bic...like a glowing orange light in the darkness of my bag...you are always easy to find.

Matt, add some line breaks and you've got a stunning poem!
I like that you admit that your pencil serves as an object of entertainment when you are bored. When I hear clicking in class, I'll be sure to first look at you.
