Jack Ellison Poet Limerick

The Cellphone Epidemic

Invited friends over to stare at our phones together
Do you wanna come by but don't forget your phone either
Must keep up on the news of the nation
Though we only hear half the conversation
It's enough to catch the drift and don't miss it altogether

Robert Allen September 21, 2019 at 11:23 AM I like the meaning of the poem but was disappointed that the rhythm of the first two lines wasn't carried through. The 14 syllables each of the first two lines had a strange carnival vibe to it. Jack Ellison September 21, 2019 at 4:38 PM Thank you for your constructive comments, my friend!!! Much Appreciated!!! Cheers Jack!!!
