RIP/TV
Sitting upon your shelf
tucked politely against
the patio wall,
you provided hours
of entertainment for
the lonely and
physically deprived.
Then came the day
you were all alone
on the patio, the shelf
gave way and there you lay,
crashed upon the patio floor.
Your voice is heard,
Your picture lost,
Your useful ways are
nevermore.
Rest in Peace
oh yes,i missed it first time,it fell for many reasons
love has its messages for sure
L&P
You write about your tv with great affection...I tend to write about that particular appliance with hostility, but I do miss it when it's gone - your poem brings back that feeling. Love your voice in this.
Linda,
Same thing happened to mine in 1986 on the terrazo floor - only caused by an attempted robbery - I managed to revive it, and although I have to give it a kick in the side now & then, it still delivers a good pic.
Made me laugh!
