For today's prompt, write an "only one in the world" poem. This only one in the world might be a person, an animal, a place, or an object. Think of someone or something unique and write.

This pen is the only pen
in my hand at six o'clock
on Earth Day during the year
two-thousand eleven, but
eventually I will
move on to another pen
and another until this
pen--the only pen of this
moment--will no longer spark
fire in the dark spots of my
mind, though my fingers may still
reach out, not knowing for what.
