Typewriter Poem by Lauren Beasley

Typewriter



Left alignment
Single space
Old Courier typeface
A clump of text
One column
Pounded out with no grace
Initials placed
Bottom left
A date in bottom right
Classical look
Modern text
A complex yet clear sight
Each letter tailed
Black and crisp
Remnants of removal
Sensual lines
Bold format
Begging our approval
The page appeals
Senses pleased
The machine does its task
An old method
Used today
Conveys all that we ask
