Mar 23 NOVEL'S CRESCENDO by Dennis Conrad

Dennis Conrad

Poetry

Vision upon vision
Dancing cursor moves
Keyboard rhythms
Faster and faster
Honing images

Wife’s voice,
”Dinner in five.”
Vision evaporates
To where?
Gone forever?

Oh, yeah
Characters alive
Sword fight
Gun play
Dynamite

”Two minutes.”
Vision flees
Rhythm fades
Exhale
Chest heaves

Vision revives
Hero victorious
Cliffhanger crests
Sequel set
File saved

Dinner cold!
