The quill's sensual touch
blinds the audience
to the words of the poet:
a magician's deliberate
misdirection.
Eyes take in
what he wants
while the soul absorbs
the rest;
speechless
but not sure why.
Please tell me what you think

Very interesting poem. I love the reference to and connection of quills, poetry, and magic. Makes for some amazing images. What isn't described is still brought to the reader's mind with this poem, just as is described: misdirection. You really do have the reader going exactly where you want them to with this piece.
It was short, to the point, and definitely left me wanting more, left me entranced and (almost) speechless, just as you said. Great work!

Aren't quills the feathers on an arrow? I know you are an archer and so it made me think of that.
Last time I read anything by you it was, I think, form poetry. You've got this down pretty good as well.
Extremely nice formatting.
