Time Type Past Usage Marked A Keyboard Poem by Terence George Craddock
Time Type Past Usage Marked A Keyboard
so much depends
on a keyboard
so much time spent
with a keyboard
fingertip soft small
shine indentations
now impression mark
my old faithful keyboard
all key common most
frequently used letters
share indentations shiny smooth deepest
letters q z x least used seem almost new unused
time has type past usage marked a keyboard
with the ghosts of a few thousand poems written

Thank you so much, Terence. This is so brilliant. The meter is amazing. As I read the words, I can hear the strokes on my old manual.
I wrote the poem 'Poems Sealed In Plastic', inspired by a comment on my poem 'Time Type Past Usage Marked A Keyboard', by the poet M.J. Lemon and dedicated to M.J. Lemon.
Memories of a different world, I still have hundreds of my poems hand written and typed on my old manual, in folders between clear plastic pages. Precious memories.
