Thanks for all the insightful and kind comments, my poet friends! It's a bit vague, I admit... when I mentioned "black and white photographs", I was intending the old picture frames that people hang on the wall... they always look like they are frowning and I wanted to tie that in to Modern Television. But it's open to interpretation :)

Sounds about accurate these days. This creates a good argument to those who only choose to see things in black & white. Excellently said.

Hmmmmmm.....I am with Andrea on this one! I really need my thinking cap, or perhaps I can pick your brain? :) Something to think about...

Thanks for reading my stuff. Mother isn't really Haiku, but in want of a better title....I'm frowning at the TV too these days. What isn't bad news, and violence is bad music and commercials. daver

Haiku is mainly talks about the nature. Am I right? What ever,this is something one never notice to write about. You are amazing. Good work love manel

I've seen it like that, the TV frowning! I also have seen the viewers all frowning about what is on TV...so you can take it either way! This is back in the day of Black and White TV's, seems like a long time ago, but it really isn't all too long ago within the real scheme of things in life! I really enjoyed reading this delightful write this morning! What a truthful and honest way to look at technology! What an amazing piece, Great work!!
