What's In An Email?

This communication marvel Of modern times At our finger tips Crude or refined Attachments plenty In various forms Some polite Other's, against the norm What takes people to write In mean spirited ways When kind words can be said And happiness stays Is it jealousy or hate For these words to be written If we ever get any Not saintly, but sinning But it's the sender of the email And their literal say What made them write On that given day So think before You send that mail And common sense Will prevail http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life.php

Never did understand why some folks feel compelled to express negative feelings in emails. You hit a home run for me with this great poem, James! Hope everyone has a chance to read it. Love, Carolyn

Yes, the ways of technology, but, you know if they are going to be this was with you friend, then they aren't really worth your time anyway just block them from ever emailing to you again. P.s. Good luck James!

Well there is always the delete button, not as satisfying as ripping paper to shreds, but close. Wisely spoken. Well done. Regards Heidie
