I'm a Martyr of the Keyboard

By Peter S Quinn (*)

I type all day long

Into the request deep

Sometimes it’ll ping-pong

Right into my sleep

I'm a martyr of the keyboard

Going down deep under

To the alphabet lord

God of the ticktick thunder!

I'll type for a request

Just to please and be ready

I'll try to do my best

If my fingers go on steady

This and that comes out

I have no complete control

Automation knows its ways about

Around the ‘key-mole’

And keyhole.

I type all day to spark

And give it a steady beat

But sometimes it’ll all lack

Except its little tweet

This maybe a dark poetry read

With not much in deeper meaning

But to somewhere it will lead

In a steady and closerScreening

(*) Peter has been very prolific,

- with more than 15 thousand music works /instrumental songs, and over 10 thousand poems and lyrics.

You can find nearly 7 thousand music works and more than 5 thousand poems and lyrics by him on the internet.

The poem was created by Peter S Quinn for this particular image.

Thank you Peter.
