Emily Krauss Poet Free verse

The Old Typewriter

All alone, lonely and forlorn 
Is the typewriter

It feels abandoned 
For the technology of computers 
Has taken over the world

In some homes 
It can be found 
In dusty attics 
Hidden away in tattered old brown boxes 
Not to be found for generations and generations

It can also be found 
In thrift and antique shops 
Donated after a loved one has passed away

Typewriters also sit on display 
In museums 
For the public to admire 

But in my house 
Sitting on my desk 
Waiting to be used 
Is an antique typewriter 
My favorite writing tool of all
