David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

The Phenomena of Silent Companionship

The Phenomena of Silent Companionship
David J Walker

Only the low electronic voices
That run the house that
Blink in blues and greens
Can be heard
	Can be seen in
The dark
Can be comfort in their 
Private conversations 

Talking about me
Never speaking to me 

Unless addressed for
Necessary maintenance
 I am the master
Free
But only within their
Borders

My Powers are paid for
In monthly 
Installments 
The high price for 
The phenomena of 
Silent companionship

Sigrid Ermine December 20, 2020 at 7:42 AM ..... Poem sounds like an 'under the thumb' husband to me..... Musically and whimsically written. David Walker December 20, 2020 at 8:26 AM Thank you Sigrid LOL..

Terry Flood November 8, 2020 at 11:34 AM I like this, David. I often moan about fridges humming, washing machines vibrating and things going beep in the night. Now, I’m gonna wonder what they’re saying. If I start talking to them... I’m blaming you ;) David Walker November 8, 2020 at 2:44 PM Haha. Thanks, Terry. Yes, they are talking About you...if not to you too.

Silent One November 8, 2020 at 4:47 AM Nothing wrong with a silent friend, when chosen, but I guess its not so cool, when you do not have a choice.. David Walker November 8, 2020 at 5:14 AM Thank you Silent One. I'm glad you liked the poem.
