The Knocker

For those arriving at my door

To call or just deliver

I’ve placed a knocker centrally

For the visitor or giver

Occasionally within our home

We cannot hear a thing

Robotic noises thunderous,

May drown the doorbell ring.

Our knocker placed with graceful care

In ease of touch or sight

We keep it clean and shiny

To be noticed day or night

This simple ancient implement

Needs not motive power source

Just a rhythmic handed caller
With a rapping knocker force
