Books were once my pride and joy
I treasured them like a favorite toy -
Yes, My magazines and books
Were my closest friends
They would tell me old tales
Or share the latest trends….
Till social media took over
And started the sad blight
Now each for their time and space
In my waking hours do fight..
Wapp and FB messages are so many
They fill all my free time now
My books are lying unused and unread
Where once they were my source of delight
I wonder have I changed ?
For I still love books!!!
However by wapp
I’m daily fully booked.

To test an addiction you have to stop.
books are, and will be my first love, even though i am unable to give them priority right now because of the flood of wapp messages.
so many books - so little time
waiting to catch up...

trying to delete the double entry - dont know if i have succeeded.. thanks for our feedback
depends, dear Poet
are you not still reading?
well then
maybe this is a mere, deviation
a break
soon, if you miss your literary vice
enough
you'll be nose deep again, reading
something
with a little more substance;
see, its ok
if we take side paths, from time to time
we need only remember that destination
we were aiming for
and we'll soon find ourselves, back on track
do not be too hard on yourself
yes indeed
i should beware
for books are which
i have utmost care
to pass your time
this way is the best
it inculcates knowledge
while you are at rest
so
i thank you dear poet for your insightful poetic feedback - hope to be back on track asap..
