Attention's Praise

(A poem about stroking the keyboard)

By Tobach NighPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Attention’s Praise

Attention attention!

Give me your gaze!

I am all alone

with no job

that pays!

So I write

my stuff

on this site

and nothing

seems perfect

except in your light!

So here I sit

with keyboard on lap

and angrily stomp

my fingers

-tap, tap!

I got 4 replies

and only 7 views!

What the hell!

This isn't good news!

Again...

I am all alone

with no job

that pays!

I make nothing at this!

Except attention's praise!
