Very clever indeed. Good commentary on texting and the Internet. Often texting is far more quicker than our brain and what we put out there will haunt us forever.
Best wishes,
Mary

Driving and tenting is as bad drinking and driving. It's a good poem. I wouldn't edit it, but tell you to add a disclaimer. Especially because the artwork choice instigates a direction or idea. Otherwise, good work :)

I think I know what you mean. What we put on the internet lives with us forever. Sadly, it is hexed with sex. And it will not go away because everything on the internet lives longer than the one who has posted it. Very perceptive of you.

This is an interesting commentary on the current state of
many countries today, Bill. I enjoyed reading your unique poem.
I liked the way you formatted the lines--they read at a quickened
pace. The rhymes were great-well chosen for their meaning.
The poem itself seemed to focus on a state of confusion with
some of the practices of today.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

A poignant write about the progress of technology and how we spread information quickly and the now soon moved the past much more quickly than it used to, being connected can sometimes be a curse, a poignant and clever write Bill, love Dolly x

-Good artwork, Bill.
-You have some good thoughts
interspersed with interesting rhymes,
forming a whole unit.
-Each part creates a good image
in the reader's mind about the
state of the world.
-It does make it seem like the world
is passing us by, and maybe that was the intent.
-Very good concluding lines, too.
-A saw where people wanted a name for this,
but I don't think it needs on; it is just
your thoughts about how you see things.
-Well done!

This is a fun poem. I tried reading it at different speeds, and it made me smile especially as I went faster. But I am confused. Why have you classed it as a story? Kate xx

    It is part of an ad hoc assembly of random pieces in this collection. I assume the program lists it as a book chapter. I will look into it.

Life goes on, which is good. The past is gone, never to come back. But I guess we'd all like to mosey back in time a little and catch up on what we might have missed. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

This was brilliant and I think you created a new poetic form in the process but we have to make sure we choose end words with lots of rhymes. Your words give us a feeling of moving along in life at the speed of texting but real life is often missed.
