“Ring” “Ring”
“Ring” “Ring”
Goes the telephone,
“Ring” “Ring”
But no one’s home,
I continue to call,
Still no reaction,
“Ring” “Ring”
With no pick up action,
“Ring” “Ring”
Still no reply,
A constant “Ring”
And I don’t know why,
Again I Try,
Again no luck,
“Ring” “Ring”
Frustration has struck,
I will just be quick,
It will not take long,
“Ring” “Ring”
On the line you belong,
Why do you elude me,
I need guiding,
“Ring” “Ring”
And you’re still hiding,
Just Answer,
This is enough,
The noise of the “Ring”
Is getting tough,
Now I’m worried,
This is not fair,
“Ring” “Ring”
At the phone I stare,
No “Ring” “Ring”
The line is dead,
No more “Ring”
With nothing said,
With connection lost,
Will I ever find,
The conversation I need,
With my own mind.
A Poem By Corey Booth – 20/04/12

that really is annoying…having no one to pick up your call…i enjoyed this
I’m glad you enjoyed it
I’m going to have a little look about on your blog now
I can relate! Aggravation to the height! Good expressive rhythm!
Thank you!
what a lovely poetry..and the last stanza is superb
The whole poem was a lead up to the last stanza so I’m really glad you liked it!
Yep, the last stanza lifts the whole thing up to another level – great!
Thank you so much
This is brilliant!. Quite a bit different from your other poems but I love it. Good rhyme, good rythm and great underlying meaning.
Thank you! I’m trying to mix up my work lately, got a few different styles I’m working on to keep my imagination fresh
Can really relate…love the line “Now I’m worried,”"This is not fair,”
nicely done little metaphor.
clever!
Brillant!
A Beautiful idea++++
Very nice, thought-provoking. Maybe if you stop making the calls, then the other you will pick up the phone to get through?
Maybe I’ll just send myself a text next time haha
A beautiful poem !!!!!!
Thanks
An excellent poem:-)
Thank you sarah
Very nice work here, a fine manipulation rhythm with the real world sound of the phone ringing…endlessly.
Sorry Corey I’ll pick up next time. Nice Poem
