Seems like people aren't looking around any more The view of tv, pad and text many more adore In observation of this fact From this world I retract

Whatever the techniques you used, this works for me. You capture in a few words the new world in which people are connected much through devices and less by their immediate presence.

technically, i think that the opening line is casual/colloquial while the use of rhyme and meter for the second half of the poem is formal, especially with the inversions. my thoughts are that that doesn't work. & that on the other hand it is quite fitting & funny. the robotics of it i guess. and how that makes the statement. the poem is just fine by itself without the description, and that's a good thing.

you said this so well....something that has been on my mind and in my eyes for so long now...people are never where they are anymore...even people walking down the street together; they are usually texting or on cell phones and not talking to each other...sad but true.. this is short and sweet! jacob

I really love short and sweet writings. I feel like they always have the most to say. The condensing of the words just makes them more powerful to me. I also really love the subtle rhymes. It's not overbearing or childish, but creates a nice harmony between the words. I completely agree with what is being said; people seem to just shut down and seclude themselves wherever they go. The supposed age of connectivity is such a lie. Sure, we can talk to people hundreds of miles away in an instant, but I feel like it makes us forget to pay attention to what's right in front of us.

Think Feedback more than Compliments :: [ Guidelines ]

1. Be honest. 2. Try not to give only compliments. 3. How did it make you feel? 4. Why did it make you feel that way? 5. Which parts? 6. What distracted from the piece?

7. What was unclear? 8. What does it remind you of? 9. How could it be improved? 10. What would you have done differently? 11. What was your interpretation of it? 12. Does it feel original?
