A New Poem

Hi, well hello first proper post! So, I enjoy poetry and writing about things I am interested/passionate about and after spending a lot of time today looking at a screen it inspired me to write this short poem. The whole concept of the poem kind of contradicts what I am doing right now (typing to you guys) but just ignore that little factoid. 

What Happened to Life?

Whilst you turned on the screen

and switched on your phone

When you put in your headphones

And fell into the zone

When you tapped at the keyboard

documented your strife

or you posted your pictures

what happened to life?

When you played a stupid game

Instead of spending time with your wife

When you scrolled down and down

What happened to life?

When you ignore what’s in front of you

And don’t look around

When you capture the moment

But don’t hear the sound.

What happened to life?

So stop your music

stop typing away

stop what you’re watching

Close the game you play

Just Look around you,

stop

for a moment and say

‘What happened to life,

whilst I’ve been away?’

Today's snap is my cute little dog in a winter hat. Naaw!
