Hour 17<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Prompt 17: Write a poem about a form of technology that is obsolete or is headed that way. The technology could just be referred to in passing, like a telephone booth, or it could be a CD that is the focal point of the poem. The degree of focus on the obsolete technology is up to you.<\/p>\n

Vinyl Collection<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A turntable and speakers hold a place of honor<\/p>\n
In Bob\u2019s living room next to shelves<\/p>\n
Filled with his prized vinyl collection.<\/p>\n
45\u2019s, 78\u2019s, full-size albums.<\/p>\n
Lifetime tunes by Bing Crosby, Elvis,<\/p>\n
The Everly Brothers, Santana,<\/p>\n
Crosby Stills Nash and Young.<\/p>\n
The Blue Danube and White Christmas,<\/p>\n
Beethoven and Simon and Garfunkel.<\/p>\n
All the greats with their signature sound<\/p>\n
Etched on vinyl, played with a needle,<\/p>\n
Every part of the cherished entertainment<\/p>\n
Now archaic and all but forgotten.<\/p>\n
