Alarm

Ah, poetry. It's not something I'll write unless forced to. I was forced in my creative writing class last spring. The assignment was to write a poem describing an object in detail. I wrote a bunch, but this is my favorite.

Alarm


Devil red rectangles
At right angles
Smoldering in
Black plastic.

Blaring high-pitched wail
Resonating
In moss-code-like
Even spurts

Six AM.
