Day 17  of the NaPoWriMo Challenge

Today, we`re challenged to write a poem that similarly presents a scene from an unusual point of view. 


Sound Machine

there`s the click of the switch
as the power is stimulated
anticipation of expectation
and the desire for pleasure

bright coloured covers
worn corners from use
selections of many genres
informative lyrics to choose

black vinyl, textured grooves
now set on a rubber platter
few crackles from bobbling needle
as the sounds start to be heard

rock, country, classical or punk
the choice is simply mind blowing
just from a colourful card sleeve
treasured memories held dear

entertainment that`s timeless
from these treasured vinyls
carefully become heirlooms
liked this vintage equipment
