This task is to write a poem consisting ONLY of one half of a phone conversation. This means no explanations, asides. We could be guessing what the other person might be saying.

I couldn't find any famous poems fitting all the criteria, so I quickly wrote one of my own below. I am sure you can do much better.



A maximum of 50 lines.

Only one voice should be in the poem (no one else is with the person making the call)

Any style of poem is acceptable

The conversation can be between anyone you like

There doesn't have to be any point to the phone call (most phone calls are 90% small-talk) or it could be really important or world-changing - it's entirely up to you.

Goodbye

Shut up!
Let me talk
I don’t want to know
Your excuses are lame
I’m going to go.

I’m hanging up now
Stop telling lies
No, I don’t believe you
Your hows and your whys

No, I haven’t got time
To hear you out
Your pathetic excuses
Carry no clout

I was stood in the rain
For at least an hour
Your car didn’t break down
And your phone battery had power

Goodbye, you tosspot
You complete waste of space
I never again
Want to see your face

No
No
No
No
Bye
