An Ode for my pen

Literature Text

Thou writing tool fine
As thine ink casts off one’s true mind
To express their whims

Thou ink ye loses
A cost ye makes to my word
Till thou barrel breaks

Thou knowest not speech
Nor expression to my word
That ye must retell

Yea, thou must retell
Or thou fortune is unkind
If thine barrel breaks

For ye must not tell
Of words that one’s mind will know
Thy soul has vanished
I wrote this last year but never posted it. It's an attempted haiku in Shakespearean language (kind of).
The writing challenge was to write an Ode about a common object (ie. table, pen, etc.)
