I hope this didn't happen to you. That's so funny, how can you improve something this good. I wish I had a six at least.
Have a great Sunday and God bless, mike.

Obsession with social media and texting is changing the life styles. This short poem brings out the message something unexpected and dangerous is in offing if we are unmindful of where we are. Good job

Yes, that's true when we are into text messaging we forget to look at things until it is too late to recognize we have run into something we least expect to happen. Your poem delivered that message to the readers, meaning you are effective despite the brief medium as 5-7-5. Excellent write.

Sadly this is all too common an occurrence - walking and texting unaware of surroundings. This 5-7-5 brings that image home. Good luck in the contest.

That's life today. It's hurry to wherever you're going with your eyes glued to the cell phone. Splash represents how fast things happen. Well done. Les

Better the mall pond than when behind the wheel! In any case, it serves her right. Texting is far too invasive. I just Wish more would just put their tech down and enjoy the world around them. Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Hello :)

LOL awesome 5/7/5 poem about a woman texting and fell in a fountain. I think this is funny and true. I am amazed at how many people text and drive or walk, it is so dangerous, not only for them but for all the people involved. Good job with the syllable count.

Ah....so funny! How can such a tech item command so much atention? "They " sure found a way to set "their" hooks in so many people with a product this time. Loved the lightness and humor in this profound statement. Well done my friend. Happy contest. Your buddy,

Hi Jax - an amusing and perfectly constructed 5/7/5. This, of which you write, must happen on occasions. I actually saw someone walking along, phone on his ear, checking his diary at the same time. How they do it amazes me - they're in another time zone I think LOL. Good luck with this one. Warm regards Dorothy x
