Notes About The Poem

For Kim Rodrigues, A poet plus, poetry contest.

 

Radio -PS

From morning light until 6pm at night,
I'm behind the scenes curating delight. 
With tones that echo on your radio,
blending local stories into audio.

In the heart of waves, where frequencies ascend,
from AM to FM, radio signals extend. 
In the realms of airwaves, where voices roam, 
broadcasting melodies that are heard at home.

With many dials, meters and buttons galore, 
producing shows, which listeners adore.
Weaving scripts to ensure presenters flow,
creating playlists of songs people know.

Colleagues call me the conductor of sound,
composing themes to entertain all year round.
Preventing silence from all transmissions,
making life easy for my technicians.

Inviting guests from a wide range of places,
from different backgrounds and new faces.
On standby to report on breaking news,
using social media to increase the views.

Monitoring projects are in my domain,
there's also an apprentice I have to train.
It's not just about navigating the studio,
I compose the moments that make hearts glow.

You've got a most amusing job --Radio! "Preventing silence from all transmissions, making life easy for my technicians." This might be the most important line, so important not to have Dead Air! I'm an avid Radio listener, when the lights go out, I lay down with my pocket radio on my favorite chancel KFI with George Noory & NPR's Terry Grose! I love KFI's producer Niel Sevadra, have you heard of him? Congratulations on your Win! :D

I admit I'm not a radio fan. Still I'm sure Kim gets many ideas from radio programs.
