POETRY CORNER: Gone are the Days
by Marilou Suchar
(2019)
The telephone rings
Who could it be?
Gone are the days
That they want me!
The cell phone chirps
I pick up to see
Nope! – just a hoax
Not a pleasantry.
I hear a ping –
Is it my texting friend?
I stop to read
I don’t comprehend.
Gone are the days
When the telephone rings
And it’s my family
To see how I’ve been.
Responsible journalism is hard work!
It is also expensive!

Awesome :) a good theme, says to me the more easily we can communicate the less we really do.
