The Machine

illuminated bumpy ceiling
a single halogen light
interrupted
by
a blip in the wall
a slip
talking to the machine
the fridge speaks out
its cool, to digress
to mess with
a cold cut
thing a freak
a king of cool
what do i do
this is not
fridge, dear dear fridge
telling me things
it says things
i think things
and when i do that
its like a bird
taking flight
this being night
i step back
and hide inside
the glowing light

I like it. Very smooth rhyming and nice descriptive features. Way to go!

I did't like it. I don't know why. Probably the format.

Keep Working

I like it. Reads well. Unfortunately, and I may just be slow here, I've no idea what it's about. None. Any hints?

Very interesting topic to write a poem about.

I like the short lines, it creates a very nice fluid rhythm to it.

Overall it was enjoyable to read.
