Sounds (Free verse) by Dovina Clickity clack of a typewriter
Ka-ching of an adding machine
The bells of a rotary dial
Clank of milk bottles on the porch
Kling-klong of a cash register
Click-and-whine of a slide projector
Scratch and squeal on a blackboard
Click of a TV channel knob
In fifty years
theyâll remember
.wav bytes of Quicken,
soft chimes of MS Word,
and the customized rings
of their cell phones.
Up the ladder:
Devil's Deal
Down the ladder:
The Businessman

Yes it's fascinating how sounds change, isn't it? Yes, it is.

Fascinating indeed
While true, I don't very much like this one D. I think that it is just an observation that is drawn out into a needless poem. Sorry, I can't give it good marks. You set the bar too high for this sort of thing.
Thanks for honesty. One sound that will not change is the sound of a fart in church. Maybe I should write about that.
