Zeitgeist

A Copernican change - analysts say, Or a paradigm shift; Progression has gone a long way, With daydreams drift...! The revolution that had once begun, With the wheel long ago; Has rolled on with stun, spun, and fun, Now to aglow...! I could not believe it when I did touch The smart touch phone wonder; Mystery in it I felt much, Like calm thunder...! Communication, like spring buds and blooms, Fervor-fresh and fragrant; Forever new finale fumes, Like a vagrant...! Computer? Who cares? Wheel? Oh! No! Grown old! Enjoy a small apple; In the form of tablets, handsets, Till you grapple...! We go on; Our kids too; like birds and beasts In old woods with new trade; Our minds leavened by newness-yeasts, Like lilies fade...!!! 25 December 2022 Writing Challenge - Zip, Zig, Zag, Zing Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France
