The Press

When it’s in motion its deafening clatter will mesmerise you if you stand still and listen; but when it is silent the great room seems to sigh. And in the yard the vans prepare to course through a city’s anatomy, deliver to every capillary nutritional gossip and rumours of wars. ___ Note: Benefits from being read aloud, or heard in the head.

Hoping you find even more inspiration by reading some of the poetry written here by other poets. Thank you for sharing your writing with us and have a wonderful weekend. Love, Carol

Thanks for the welcome, Carol. I am, indeed, a newbie (been here about a week) and found some of the work interesting.

So glad. Nice to get feedback. Thanks for your kind comments, Mandy. This was one I did in the seventies when I worked for an evening newspaper in the English Midlands.
