Ouch

Don't ever drop an iPad on your foot,
It turns the color of blue-soot!
And that innocent light-looking device
Reminds me to think, not once but twice.

Ooh, are you sure it was the iPad? I mean you could have been wandering in your dream, caught that foot under a tree root or something and boom! Really though, great piece, sorry about your foot.

Lol, Panagiota! This brought back memories when I was reading a book on my iPad while in bed. You guessed it, I was holding it above my face, and as I was dozing off the pad slipped and hit me right on the nose! Ouch for sure!!! Thanks for the memory :). ~Mark

OMG Mark. I am sorry,happy ouch! hardly. Am going to lay off poetry for awhile. Need a vacation. Fun reading your artistry as a poet and others on my To follow list. Got a cool cover from Amazon for six dollars. When that monster attacked me was not in a case. As if that woukd make it lighter? Don't think so ~ panagiota~ be careful, poetry friend!

Look online, under Apple IPad. They are mobile tablets to access the Internet. The glass on the front is the heaviest. If not in a case, it can shatter totally. If that happens, One needs to buy a used or unused iPad. LOL, I wasn't selling one..just wanted you to see what they look like. If you ever are hospitalized, they are great. You would still be able to write your poetry and read others. Thanks...Panagiota
