Being Human

Technology, Just a time travel away! Did people become so brilliantly clever! Within a blink of an eye, Evolving superhuman beings, From cavemen to inventors, Hunter-gatherers, To knowledge condensers, Traveling thousands of miles, Within the speed of light, From horse and cart, To jetting across the universe, Life at a fast pace, Messages that can travel, Around the world and back, With one scientific click, How amazingly human is that, Mobile phones and internet, Knowledge is the future, How far can technology travel? Faster than a time machine, Gadgets for every occasion, With comfort, luxury and splendour, Everything for this generation’s need, I think my mobile phone makes me more human My mother thinks otherwise! 07/07/2016 For contest Being Human Sponsor John Hamilton

Hello Wendy. Like this one. Makes me think of where mankind's going. We've come a long way from scavenger/hunter gatherer and enjoy benefits of technology. But where do we go from here? Take care. Tony x

It is not easy to write in the conforming Acrostic form Wendy. I like your poem just as it is. I wrote mine thinking of one word for each beginning letter and then went from there, changing things as I wrote. You will get the hang of it. Hugs, Connie ; )

Nicely done Wendy. Like this a lot. The evolution of Man is astounding at times and even most often scary. I personally think we would have been better off if we had remained hunters and gatherers. Good luck on the contest. God Bless, JB

REally loved your take on the theme, but everyone is telling you right about it not being acrostic. I bet you could make this poem conform to the letters that spell out Being Human.

Wendy - Your creative write is, unfortunately, not an Acrostic, as Silent One wrote. You must take the title "Being Human" and start each line with the letters in "Being Human", i.e., line starting with b, then e, then i, then n, then g, (being) next stanza, each line should start with the letters in human. If this isn't clear and it probably isn't, look up Acrostic under Forms. I know you can understand and write something wonderful. I hope I helped in some way! CayCay
