And Then Came the Denouement

Not how his poem was rated, But the fact, it was recorded, If by machine was being read— Like a car having just one gear! Yet, happy was he still to hear, If not readers, by machine read. And listened in spell, not a let, Till the poem ending couplet, And what was just an underscore, He wished it were encore, encore! ___________________________________________________ A budding poet had placed some of his poems on a poetry website, which added an audio to some of the poems, machine voice reading them. A line at the end drawn with underscores was also read as underscore, underscore.... faithfully. But, he, a dreamer, hears it as encore, encore! ______________________________________________________ Humour | 24.03.2017 |
