Yes Andy we have reached a time when a mobile phone is more necessary than air itself and life is defined by it. People text each other across the table, take selfies as their house burns around them, play games rather than talk to a spouse, watch porn on the job, get their test answers from them, use them as a flash light they are now our chosen companion and most people would choose them over their spouse. Good write Andy

Priya Tomar said:

Yes , your poetry displays changing values in society. But every generation thinks they are last mannered members of society.

Respect.
Poetic Licence said:

You can\'t earn respect behind a screen or phone, you have to meet and get to know people for respect to be there, very valid write

Respect.
sorenbarrett said:

Yes Andy the world changes and not always for the best. A world of social distancing, fragmentation, frustration, a breakdown in values, resentment of power, where authority is viewed the enemy. A good read Andy

Good write Gold. Yes, not even a thank you or \'ta muchly\' - sometimes just a grunt.

To respect unconditionally is the goal… old or youth… if it is righteous then respect follows… great poem

Respect.
Teddy.15 said:

Because people no longer care as we now live in a non face to face environment, we live in a world behind screens and even young parents of today give new born babies i-pads in their buggies rather than sing a sweet song. I have worked with young children all my life and still do, I see the parenting differences, but that just my personal opinion. 🌹

Ode To An Olive.
Bella Shepard said:

I have to say Andy, this poem is a most sensual delight, your love affair with the olive. When I was a child I was always fascinated by the pimento in the green olive. I didn\'t like them then, but love them now. I can also rememeber putting black olives on my fingertips and eating them one at a time. It make me laugh to see my grandchildren doing the same thing. A great write my friend!

A Sonnet For Your Fiftieth Year.
Priya Tomar said:

Wordsworth - poet of nature.
He worshipped nature.
Tennyson\'s nature is \" red in tooth and claw \"
If your poetry has metaphors , imagery similar to Romantic poets, Really you are a great poet , born poet
Indian poet R K Ramanujan\' s poetry famous for socio- cultural themes.
If your poetry has scent of cultural flowers , your poetry depicts your versatille genius ....

You provided a good ,complete analysis. You highlighted social relationship in the age of social media
Good job
Very well

Great wisdom here Andy and the key to happiness for rich or poor. Gratitude an element often missing in the human soul. Loved it

Your poem captures a simple but profound truth—that happiness isn’t about having everything, but about appreciating what you already have. Very nicely written!!!!

A lot of folk would like to be \'happy\' like Mr Dodd - naughty, not paying taxes. Of course, he would sing \'Happiness\'. Doh!
