Hi Lou, I discovered this old poem "Clack, CLack!" on Read and Review and I here to share my thoughts with you.

First Impression Title leads me to believe this will be fun to read.

Frame: Centered on the page a Free Verse poem in 19 lines with appropriate stanza breaks, a quatrain followed by 3 cinquains.

Texture, rhythm, word choice, and sonics. Though I was expecting something more silly, maybe because of the title's onomatopoeia, this poem quickly took on a nostalgic tone. The poem reads fluidly. The personification helped the poem progress into empathy.

Suggestions I'm sure at this late date you will not be going back to edit this piece and I can't at only a few readings point out any areas that I would think needed rethinking.

Overall This piece reminded me of when I closed my office after 40 years in business. When I began I purchased an expensive typewriter that was used all of the time. But as the computer came along, less and less happened on that typewriter until it just sat. (just in case) Clearing out the office I muddled over what I was going to do with it. It is so sad that something that was once so important is cast aside. That is how your poem made me feel. Good writing.
