Notes About The Poem

 

For my early morning/late night online Skype and PoetryChat friends, and for my boyfriend :)

Keyboarded Fingers

Morning filled with conversations
in my headsetted ringing ears
under keyboarded fingers
across the ocean
next door

I want to drink wine with you
read Walt Whitman with you
sleep in your arms
publish with you
dream

Coffee for me, with sleep drunk eyes
you horrible insomniacs
you funny inspirational
sharers of poetry and
friendship

I sit down with you, to beat loneliness
keep it at bay, at distance
I reach my hand to
you all with tears
of love

J-Mag Guthrie May 14, 2017 at 9:56 AM I like how the shape of your formatting draws the eye onward to continue...beckoning. A deft choice to center it so and to arrange your line breaks to craft visual arrows. In poetry, the form should reflect the content and your content of beckoning is perfectly suited here. Bravo! Darren White May 14, 2017 at 10:01 AM Thank you. I am glad you like this :)

Tim Smith March 18, 2017 at 1:12 PM The sleepless nights are more comforting with a friend a keystroke away. Darren White March 18, 2017 at 1:14 PM Yeah, they most certainly are :) Makes me happy!
