I don't mind accolades
freely passed on my way,
I'll take encouragement
gladly, any given day.

The Smartphone
A sleek and smart device,

Is taking everything out.
Little things and big things,
It's looking more like a rout. -

Striving daily for progress,

Learning a paradox too --

Sometimes, the reverse will do.Featured Shared StoryI've only just found this poem of yours - I like it very much. I must look out for more of your work. Very best wishes, Ann.

Woah! This is a funny poem and I can relate to it. I've misplaced my glasses too, more times than I care to remember and when I eventually find them, I'd be like "Would you believe this?". It's often right under my nose! Amuses me a great deal. I do joke at home that if only my glasses had a line so I can just ring when it's missing, then get it wherever it is.
This poem is simple yet beautiful. Reminds me of "the little fish that would not do as it was bid." It teaches a great lesson and not just for kids. We all should beware of flatteries.
That was such a kind and honest evaluation. I can't take all the credit for this particular poem though. I owe it to my mum - the first person to point out Prov. 15:1 to me in the Bible, and also to an inspiring quote by William Norris. Thanks for the kind words.
Hi Ms. Patricia, you are very kind to take time to comment, and I couldn't agree more. We seem to share the same views, and it's really lovely. Thank you. This means a lot.
I'm happy you can relate to my poem. I really love and appreciate your honest comment. Thank you.
