And Then Came The Denouement Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

And then came the denouement

Not how my poem was rated,
I did find it was recorded
By machine, and was being read—
Like a car moving in one gear!
Yet, pleasant still it was to hear,
If not by readers, machine read.

I listened well without a let
Till came sonnet ending couplet,
And what was just an underscore,
I wish it were en core, en core!

A budding poet had placed some of his poems on a poetry website, which added an audio to some of the poems. A machine voice read them. A line drawn with underscores to it was only a series of underscores, which gets read faithfully. He, a dreamer, hears it as en core, en core!
