I particularly enjoyed the last two lines. This really does sum up poetry, and in such a beautiful way!

I think this idea already applies for a lot of people who aren't mute but don't express themselves well in person - including me, haha. I always feel that the written word is more eloquent than spoken. Great poem, especially for something written in ten minutes! I love the idea you used here.

This is beautiful!

I really wish I could write like this at 2 in the morning.

I think my favorite line (although it's hard to choose, the whole poem fits together so well!) is "the grace in which the letters curve together in wet ink"

Perfect.

:) that really descibes poetry!

Hmm, yes. I believe that describes writing poetry accurately. During some poems, I've actually cried. Sometimes, even those who /have/ tongues dare not use them...

I find that writing in the late hours or soon after waking is often very poignant. Good job!

As a side note, should there be a semicolon in the first line? I'm not sure.
