This little poem is one that I'm certain most everyone who reads it can relate. It's almost as if that little box of button almost controls our lives, morning, noon, and night. And many use it for an alarm in the next morning too. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

I wonder what people did before them! I see people talking with them in the supermarket, some are so loud, I can hear the entire conversation. A fun very well-written poem with spot-on rhyme. I have an iPhone but prefer my landline.
I enjoyed reading,
Best wishes,
Mary

I'm glad I read the author's notes!

Prior to this your poem felt like it was praising your inability to live without a phone. Now I can clearly see that it is, as us Australians say, "a pisstake". Very clever use of humour. Well done.

Excellent poem about cellphones and how attached some people are.
The rhymes and meter are not forced and they flow well.

the structure makes sense, it draws on emotions and it presents strong images.

I agree, Nomi. Too many miss out on real life as they
believe they must never be without or with it turned off.
I hate to see groups at restaurants looking down instead
of looking and interacting with each other. You did a great
job with your poem. The end rhymes and internal rhymes
worked well. You gave readers great details about the phone
in your ode.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

This is the first poem I have read about a cellphone. It seems that many people in today's world are attached to their phones and are using them constantly. Excellent poem that captures how many cannot be parted from their phones. Sometimes I find cellphones frustrating and annoying.

This is fun and humorous and I love how it rhymes. One thing I might point out is that until I read the author's notes I wasn't sure if you were serious or not. I would suggest putting the listing under humor poetry instead of general poetry. This is great fun and I smiled to myself when I read it. I have a cellphone but I am not attached to it like some folks I know.
Thanks for the laughs!
Jesse

This is a good synopsis of how many view that electronic device. Growing up without any electronics, I recognize the need for them in today's society, but wish we weren't so dependent on them. I enjoyed the times when you would actually be able to go out for the day and enjoy it without any interruptions.

    As handy as they may prove to be in an emergency. I cannot argue that times were less intrusive when they did not exist. Thank you for your review.
