Panagiota Romios Poet Free verse

Email Insanity

^^^^^^^^Email Insanity^^^^^^^^

We are ecstatic over baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis 
and football!
We relish snowflakes and the warmth of the sun.
And NASCAR, races? Why, we would not miss one!

But a phone call to one another simply cannot be placed.
My parents would call this both a familial and a friendship's 
ultimate disgrace.

Which of us dies first? Me? You? Your husband or wife?
We are dreadfully dismissive of how very tenuous our life is.
An Emoji cannot replace a human voice! 

So~Unless you are the CE0 of Amazon or leader of a country,
Just give your dear friends or relatives a jingle.
They will feel it's Christmas so go ahead, and be their Kris Kringle 
You'll give them a warm tingle!

Gershon Wolf July 23, 2019 at 7:02 PM Great advice. I can feel it tingle with every ringle. :) gw Panagiota Romios July 23, 2019 at 7:50 PM You are wonderfully clever, I admire you. By the way, I got a tingle when my friend from Chicago did call today. Rx: ignore people totally and THEN they start to think of you? How very odd! Thank you for your friendship and humor. Hugs, Panagiota

Andrea Dietrich July 23, 2019 at 5:32 PM So true, my friend. I often give my family a jingle and they don't even pick up . Everyone is so busy and my kids only want to do texting which is annoying . You can say it so much better with your voice! Panagiota Romios July 23, 2019 at 6:04 PM Andrea, I did not send this poem to one person on my personal list. Now....I don't know how the universe works...but she called me today after many moons. I was so shocked. Maybe my poem punched a hole in the universes ))) Panagiota thanks Andrea. We were not born to love devices, but people. People hide behind phones. Why? Because they can?

Charles Messina July 22, 2019 at 7:26 PM Great advice Panagiota. Nothing like hearing a voice of a loved one. Excellent write :) Hugs Charlie Panagiota Romios July 23, 2019 at 5:51 AM Righto! You said it all in one sentence. Hugs, Panagiota
