I don't mind accolades
freely passed on my way,
I'll take encouragement

The Smartphone
A sleek and smart device,

Little things and big things,
It's looking more like a rout.Featured Shared StoryAbimbola,

Could the poet have foreseen a future where kids wouldn't even cluster around TVs anymore but appear detached, more alone with their phones? We've come a long way. The poem is funny, but rings with the truth. I grew fond of reading while I was young, thanks to my parents' awesome collections and it has become a part of me. Like a writer once said in a Reader's Digest article back in 2000, "the greatest avenue to learning - to wisdom, adventure, pleasure, insight, to understanding human nature, understanding ourselves and our world and our place in it - is in reading books." The reading culture may no longer be what it once was, but parents can still keep good books at home for their kids like Dahl said. Pleasure reading is fun and really worthwhile. This is a classic, fantastic poem.
I can relate to this, especially that last line. Beautiful poem.
"If You Must Go" is a terrific poem. The author shared a truly inspiring and beautiful message.
Wow! A truly amazing poem with a beautiful message for parents. Childhood is a special period with so much joy, innocence and wonder. It is a delightful stage. Besides, so much good can be accomplished during this time as it is way easier to nuture sound children than fix broken adults. This fantastic poem captures it all and more in beautiful words. Many thanks to the poet.
This is a lovely poem. It's easy read and it shares a beautiful message. Many thanks to the poet.
