discarded

knotted cables seek release

anxious batteries await the call

heartbroken pencils long to be held

the ipod won’t come out to play

and just like me

the remote is going spare

but cannot adapt

Clever anthropomorphisms. Great fun to read and recite

Thanks. It began as an experiment in anthropomorphy and was very long. I like it better stripped down

Short and bitter-sweet. A fine poem.

I like it. Very clever and thoughtfully constructed. Short but effective because of its brevity. Very good. I must explore the idea of similar images myself!
