The Press

When it’s in motion its
deafening clatter will
mesmerise you if you
stand still and listen; but
when it is silent
the great room seems to sigh.

And in the yard the vans prepare
to course through a city’s anatomy,
deliver to every capillary
nutritional gossip and rumours of wars.

    A warm welcome to PoetrySoup I offer you this afternoon Andrew. I wish for you the best in your writing endeavors whatever they may be. Hoping you find even more inspiration by reading some of the poetry written here by other poets. Thank you for sharing your writing with us and have a wonderful weekend. Love, Carol

    Thanks for the welcome, Carol. I am, indeed, a newbie (been here about a week) and found some of the work interesting.

    So glad. Nice to get feedback. Thanks for your kind comments, Mandy. This was one I did in the seventies when I worked for an evening newspaper in the English Midlands.
