Poetry: Typewriters

I have a sinful obsession with the hard click of the keys
Each pause in the air fills my creative heart with glee
From a thrift store or an old tool shed
My friend the typewriter is far from dead

It has followed me through childhood
Through puberty and on even still
I have trusted it with my secrets
Into adulthood, my heart I spill

To this silent symbol
Of life and once up a times
Of a million poems that escaped my mind
To this virtous partner in all of my crimes

    by Jane Allyson

    Sitting at my old typewriter,
    My mom just had to laugh at me.
    The only way that I could write
