    Ramblings On Glassy Screens

    The tv screams for mere attention,
    Imaginary friends for viewing pleasure:

    "Hello, how are you today?
    I see you there in all you ways,
    Your little secret's safe with me,
    Trust me, watch me, just believe
    And I'll visit you in all your dreams,
    You'll wish for me, you'll beg to see,
    All the things I offer thee--
    Joy and sadness, simple glees,
    Stories, tales on tv screens..."

    Now it's over
    Credits rolled by
    Now we see
    And now we cry,
    Popping up inside my mind,
    Now I type to satisfy...
    All those voices in my head--
    All the truths we wish were dead...

    I see the beginnings of a good writer. Read other poets to learn different styles. Keep writing, TS

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
