Poem Title:
Poem
She waited and waited for her birthday When a computer tablet made her day So she looked at the world scenes Becoming her favourite thing to hold her dreams Each day she carried it around And she couldn’t put it down There were Apps for gaming and reading For every day things for what she was doing One day she opened the App Store Looking at all the new things listed and more But there was one App that intrigued her It was the best one for an App Connoisseur It asked Do you want to know All that you want to know and show And it was free to those who wanted it So she pressed and it downloaded in a fit But this is where the story changed As the App exploded and arranged Until a face formed on the screen Smiling and waving when it had been seen So it became her habit each day To go to the App right away Being further drawn into the frame Until it controlled what she said and did in its game The adults didn’t notice at first Until things had changed for the worst With the children gathering together Standing and looking forward with no chatter So the challenge had begun As the groups of children thought as one And Adults pondered how it would end As each for their lives they had to defend. © Paul Warren Poetry
