Dave was in his office
when the power had cut out.
The lights went dark, no internet
and something clicked in him.
When the power had cut out,
Dave looked up from his desk
and something clicked in him,
he felt almost happy.
Dave looked up from his desk,
he nearly cracked a smile,
he felt almost happy.
Then the power came back on.
He nearly cracked a smile,
he was shortly free from monotony.
Then the power came back on,
and he went back to work again.
He was shortly free from monotony.
The lights went dark, no internet.
And he went back to work again.
Dave was in his office.

This poem was really meaningful. It would mean a lot if you read just one of my poems. Thank you for this experience.

I really liked it!
Although...last time I checked you were "The Novelist" not "The Poemist" :P

I take it Dave was in his office? Which brings a trio of questions to mind: where did he work, was he happy there, did they have a vending machine? No, a fine poem!

God, I hope they had a vending machine at least, but how should I know? I'm just the narrator/writer. Thanks for reading!
