What a fun poem about cell phones. I fear that too many people are lost without them nowadays. In fact, I recently read that there are camps for people to help them kick their addition to their phones.
Personally, I drive some of my friends crazy since I go whole days without turning my phone on. Do we really need to be in contact that much?

I think the very best use of a cell phone is in an emergency. Otherwise, it can prove to be intrusive.
Comment from June Sargent
Unfortunately, this is how many feel about their iPhones. They are bonded to a phone for better or worse, instead of a wife. iPhones are convenient, but they do create an unhealthy co-dependency.

Thank you for your comments. I am beginning to see a trend here and it is surprising.
Comment from royowen
It amazes me how much of an issue this has become. With the young folk taking more notice of their phones than they do to each other, it's going to be easy for government and business to manipulate its citizens. This beautifully written Nomi, an excellent post. Beautifully written, blessings Roy

Thank you Roy. I kind of regretted writing this as I began to worry about what kind of reception I would receive. I am totally surprised by the positive reception I am receiving.

Well done
Comment from lancellot
This is a very fun ode. I can see this being true for many people these days.
notes:
My cell phone is a part of my life.
- I think this final line kind of undermines the mania of the rest. It should be more than a part. How about: My cell phone is the soul of my life.

I can see that, Thank you.
Comment from Kaiku
yes, a good laugh from reading this as much of it if not all is true. One question, is it dreamed or dreamt. Just looked it up. The Brits would prefer dreamt but either is acceptable.

I like dreamt. I think I may substitute it. Thanks.

I changed it to dreamt to please a fan who just happens to be either British or an Aussie.

Those chaps are pleased for sure.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
You made me smile here and how can we live without our cell phones these days? My children were brought up without mobile phones and we only had a phone installed in our home when I was 10 years old. But now our life is on our phone. I thoroughly enjoyed your cell phone rant.
Just one suggestion here for the sake of grammar:
I (dreamt) that cell phones did not exist.
Love Dolly x

Thank you for your comments. You are the second person to point that out to me.
Comment from barbara.wilkey
I wouldn't be lost without my cell phone. I often hide it just so I will be left alone for a while. LOL I watched one of my teenage grandchildren who had misplaced their phone become very upset. Thank you for sharing this silly poem with us. It caused me to smile.

Thank you, I would stand on my head to make you smile. Not really, I would require hospitalization if I were silly enough to try such a stunt. Nevertheless, I appreciate your fun review.
Comment from jmdg1954
You seem to have the identical belief in a cell phone as I do. Hallelujah!
But got the most part, your do called "silly poem" is the world we live in, cell phone attachment.
Nicely composed.
Cheers to the 1970's...

Comment from jessizero
I understand that this is fictional, but you're right that it happens to some people. I like to have a working phone, but I recently went on a retreat where I couldn't have one, and I survived. LOL. Thanks for this humorous account of a person's love for their phone. Best wishes to you.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
As a person who hates modern technology, and in particular mobile phones, I found this poem very amusing. My only slight criticism is the line end repetition of 'out' in the second stanza. I would prefer to see non-repetitive rhymes. kay
