Today SOS-Sharing Our Stories: Magic in a Blog invites us to write about a catchphrase…here’s one I use quite often…
When my colleagues
have more questions
than I have answers
I say
stay tuned
When my husband
bemoans the day
longing for simpler times
I say
stay tuned
When my children
are anxious
about their tomorrows
I say
stay tuned
When I sit staring, despairing,
at an empty screen
the Muse leans in close,
whispering
stay tuned
When sleep turns the knobs
of my weary brain
to receiving messages
on a channel of dreams:
stay tuned
When waking, I realize
the story isn’t over.
It’s a new beginning…
stay tuned
stay tuned

“Stay tuned” is an idiom meaning “keep listening” or “keep watching.” It originated in the days of dial-tuned radio receivers and eventually transitioned to television.

I like how you used the catch phrase as an inspiration for a poem. I especially enjoyed imagining the Muse whispering to your ear.

In a world when we want to tune so much out, your words remind me of the importance of tuning in to the things that matter.

Stay tuned – a wonderful catch phrase. I love how you use it in so many situations. But my favorite is the one you receive on waking – “It’s a new beginning.” I love that feeling every new day.
