*my answer to YOU, doreen!   *
As my thoughts return to spring,
warmth, sunshine, and birds in sing,
overwhelmed by Spring's sweet song,
I smile and turn my pc ON.

"I must record these thoughts of glory--
the wonderment of Nature's story!"
Clicking keys in rhythmic trust-
my words unfurl of Springtime's lust.

Suddenly, without a clue,
my screen became deep shade of blue.
"Egads! and Drat! Oh no!" I cry.
For on my screen was one word: "sigh."

A SIGH??? Methinks it can't be true!
then three more words: "I love you."
Surely this must be a joke!
Then I jumped back--my pc SPOKE!

"Of course I love you," said pc.
"I wish you'd write a poem for ME.
We've been together for a year.
I've wept with you each single tear.

Yet every word, you write for HIM.
You think that crash was just my whim??
I have a heart like all good folk!
The night I crashed? My heart...just...broke."

"But," I typed, "this just can't be.
You have no heart. You're a machine!"

"I can't believe you'd be so cold,"
cried pc, "you have no soul!"

The screen was fading--fading fast.
"Please don't go," I typed, "come back!"
"Say you're sorry" as screen went black.
"I AM!" I typed, "it's ME that lacks!"

All my words I then recanted.
"I'm sorry I took you for granted."
"Say you love me..." warned pc.
"Then write a poem just for ME!"

"I love you! And? I WILL be true!"
PC? This poem's just for YOU.

I should have seen it all along.
Somehow? I turned my pc ON!!!!

You and Sven have said a mouthful, serenity!  Love this!!  Personification is a lot of fun to write and to read and you've done a superb job here.  Just remember, it's all fantasy, and if you know what's good for you, you won't let your p.c. see,
this.  
Oops, too late!  Sorry, I hope he understands.

My friend, I think you need to stand up and MOVE AWAY FROM THE SCREEN! LOL

I loved this. So what's your PC's name? Peter Charles? Paul Cecil? Patrick Conrad? LOL

Flowers are almost better though, and spring is here!
