I’d wanted to go out early today
But got lost in computer time
Minutes turned to hours
Writing and reading online
Plans put on hold
Errands will have to wait
As the seconds tick by
Ravenously my computer ate
Moving on through the day
Again the computer holds my stare
An online friend has left a note
Of how for my poetry they care
Honored and privileged am I
To have had my words read
That they take root in someone
Stimulate ideas in their head
So on the computer
My time is spent
No matter of what I do
But to good I hope it went

Good write AP. Would take ages to read everyone's poems on here.
Yes orchi, but a lot of worthy reading it would be. Thanks.
We've all become junkies, slaves to our devices. But then, remote interaction might be a good thing ... keeps down physical confrontations, you think?
Good poem on the subject, AP!
In certain cases Louis, yes. But usually meeting people physically is a wonderful positive thing. Wouldn't it be great if we could all come together in a poetry reading where we all shared our work in person? Thanks for reading and your reading and compliment.
It certainly did AP!
Thank you for this very
pleasant read! Very
appreciative for gifting
us with your precious and
valuable time!
Have an awesome day!😊
So easy to forget about the time on here. Thanks for reading. And you as well Laura.
Some of the computer time is worthy like reading poem here. Those other time we could eliminate and do some outdoor activities.
Yes m&m, that was partially the message here that although I love reading and writing on MPS, I have other things I need to get done outside the house. Thanks for reading.
I like that. Certainly stimulating and another interesting subject . So true. Ravenously my computer ate - I like it !
Well it seemed that way Jeremy. Thanks for reading.
I certainly couldn't find time to read them all. I do look at as many as I can by clicking on to them but as soon as I see sloppy punctuation, spelling errors, strangled attempts to maintain rhyme etcetera then I move on. However, if the posting shows some promise despite these errors then I will read it- there are a couple of poets on here at the moment whose work is full of errors and yet is so refreshing - lets hope they improve, After all one of the basic needs of a great poet is to understand the language and to know how to use it.
Anyway none of those problems with this super write.
Yes Michael, I understand the need for proper punctuation in writing, so I always try to proof read everything before I post it. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Great write
Thanks Tony, I appreciate you reading and complimenting.
