Radio waves, silent
dancing on every roof and beam.
The mambo, the Charleston,
I wonder where they’ve been?

Wireless and cables endlessly searching,
looking for compatibility.
Antenna’s erect, waiting,
For loves young dream.

The dance goes on,
the players know the scene.
ballroom lit in spectrums
of purple and green.

Penetrating, infiltrating,
searching out, the router waiting.
Interfacing, gyrating.
Bound by flex, softwares entwined,
gently encrypted, then realigned.

I like the subjects you come up with.
There are some good ideas in this piece and the whole thing reads well, although you might want to
sort out the few errant capitals that might be cause for some readers to stumble.
I was wondering about forever, in the last stanza and whether it was a little rigid in the context
of the constantly shifting nature of this type of technology.

Another enjoyable piece

good stuff

to anticipate touching what is unseen seems far more interesting than seeing what the hand can not touch

Wonderful read very clever use of words almost double entendre in meaning I thought. I got the impression this was a very well thought out insight both to physical attributes and mechanics of radio plus the mood they can radiate.
Lovely

Dear BinB, it's a nice flow but please look at the points above mentioned with love.


I think you express most in this rock and roll as it were.


Love your sincere energy and work which is a gift from the gods.

This is nicely done, BinB. I think I'd have enjoyed it more on the radio level alone, without the saucy double entendres, but that wasn't what you wanted to do and fair play to you. You do it well.

S1 is still my favourite, though.

Cheers

David

You provide some great visuals in S2 and S3. The last strophe... perhaps a revise? There are too many "ing" sounding verbs. Overall, I liked the piece immensely. Nice title.
