                             Pantoum--Computer Unaware

                             computer hummed and clicked and popped
                             as it sat upon its shelfin lair
                             its letters rose and slipped and dropped
                             as words flew on to pages there

                             stories sizzled and wept and sighed
                             as it sat upon its shelfin lair
                             images were true and tried
                             as words flew on to pages there

                             its master steamed, cajoled and sang
                             stories sizzled and wept and sighed
                             until the midnight hour rose and rang
                             images were true and tried

                             its master steamed, cajoled and sang
                             its letters rose and slipped and dropped
                             until the midnight hour rose and rang
                             computer hummed and clicked and popped

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

(smiles) Oh my gosh, I love all the onomatopoeia in this, sweet friend, you make the computer come alive with all the percussion and personification, you are so very talented and a delight to read, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
