THANKS TO TESS at Magpie Tales.
OUT OF ORDER
Small change in my pocket,
shabby tips.
No dial tone.
Just another Nighthawk
frozen in neon
at the end of the world.
Pedal on.

Hi Mimi-
Thanks...that photo really resonated!
Hi Brian-
Yes, ...hard times...keep moving!! Thank you...
Beautifully concise and apt.
Lyn- Clever and very creative!
sometimes you could dial first, then pay- but I lost quite a bit of change to MA Bell!
Hi Trellissimo-
Thanks for your kind words! I'll try concise again!
Hi Laurie-
Fell in love with the photo...so many paths to take with this one!! Thanks..
Hi izzy-
And they still call her Ma. Are they kidding? Thanks for the possibilities!
I like the simplicity/depth of this...and the advice.
=)
"....peddle on"....love this Lyn!
Hi Sue-
Thank you so much..yes, let's keep moving on!
Hi Carrie
Thanks...interesting challenge...so many really good responses!
Loved this, the poem reads like song lyrics:)
Your Out of Order response says much about humanity and about the main character who would 'OCCUPY' the phone booth. A cold reality check and a curt response.... 'Pedal on'. Sadly real. Thank you for sharing, Lyn.
Hi Brigid-
Very interesting, a lyric..I love to see it in a new way...thanks so much!
Hi Linda-
I had a sense of isolation when I wrote this...glad you picked up on it...and pedal on is all we can do!
A mood well captured. I feel it.
Nicely captured mood piece. (He said as he pedaled away...)
Hi DCW-
Thank you..this picture has spun a thousand words!!
At the end of the world - yes!
Catches the mood of the picture very well.
Rooms to let, fifty cents
Ain't got no cigarttes....

Hi Doctor FTSE-
Some picture, huh..enough for everyone...thank you!!
Hi rel-
Hard times...yes, you got it my friend...thanks!
Nice artistic allusion. Where do you find a working pay phone these days?
Short. Sweet. Not shallow. Love that "Pedal on."
