Electric Dreams of Googles Glow // Short Abstract Poem
This poem paints a vivid picture of late-night searches, the hypnotic rhythm of keystrokes, and the vast expanse of online knowledge. Join me in exploring the luminous void of our digital age.
I wrote this poem based on the prompt from Audio Playground
"Inspired by your last 5 Google searches, create a sonic poem."

The Poem
The sound of keyboard click, as zeros echoe
Tapping of glass mirror, in moments missed,
Electric thought, that gathers pace in midnight glow
My ADHD muse
My nocturnal partner
My Infinite theatre of inquiry in luminous void
Those fleeting whispers of wisdom,
Life’s informal aberrations
Not in tales or ancient narration,
But in the endless sprawl of Google's temptation.
I'm thrilled to announce that my short documentary, “Echoes of Cockney”, is featured in an episode of BBC Radio 4's acclaimed radio show, Short Cuts. In this episode, host Josie Long presents a collection of short documentaries under the theme:
My documentary is a heartfelt interview with my father, delving into the gradual loss of the Cockney dialect and rhyming slang, exploring the profound changes in East London over the years and what it means to be a cockney. The piece also includes poetry written by me, juxtaposed against the interview, giving more context and expressing my own feelings on Cockney culture.
