Comment from Marykelly
This poem has two messages for me. The first is the absolute dependence most people have for their phones and technology, and the second message is the natural ability to use the technologies that seem to be part of the younger generation. My grandchildren use their devices with ease as I struggle to understand and use mine. I sympathize with the speaker in this poem.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Hahaha...
You know, Janet, scientist claim that in a hundred years, or less perhaps, human beings will evolve to be born with padded, pointier finger tips and a keyboard built into the opposite hand of the one they use most often.
No longer will our teeth be white.
Children will start sprouting "Blue-tooth", heh-heh-heh...
Cute poem, great rhyming too.
What is our society becoming if not a bunch a' anti-social, virtually communicative wannabes?

Thanks Dean for your understanding and "fun" review. Hey - I like that idea - I won't loose my phone that way unless one of your ghouls cuts off my hand. haha.

My pleasure as always, Janet.
If what you suggest were to happen, I'd be sure to lend you a hand. I have several in my freezer.
Heh-heh...

Comment from Pantygynt
I'm sorry to hear the demise of your phone
that no longer speaks to you, no longer rings,
It's not 'cause it hates you it left you alone
But take this here hint - you must charge the damn things.
What did we do? How did we cope prior to the late nineties? It was all right when no one had one. Your poem makes a good point actually

Comment from Bill Schott
As a teacher I saw it on a daily basis. People live their lives through instant reception and delivery of even the most moronic notions. I am so dull that even with this new, latest and greatest contraption, all I use it for are phone calls (texts, photos, news, music, YouTube, dictionary, wiki, road directions, ....... Wow!)

Comment from c_lucas
A phone is nothing more than a tool. It is used by the owner. It is a mere convenience. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very interesting read.

Comment from Rubylou
I really enjoyed your "Call Me" poem. I acknowledge the importance of cell phones in today's every day life. I have to say, though, I do get offended while at a family gathering the guests can't engage in conversations face to face. .
I see it as an addiction.
Ok, my rant is over. LOL
I like the flow and rhyme of your words- very skillfully written. The upbeat, light feel comes through beautifully.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hi Janet - this poem is very well written with good rhyme and rhythm maintained throughout. You have revealed just how much a person relies on their mobile phone. It amazes me when I ponder how we got through life without even a fixed phone in the house. LOL! A good read - well done. Dorothy xx

Thank you Dorothy for your understanding review. And even if we had a phone - it was a party line - try explaining that to teenagers today. haha

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
A modern poem that could not have been written a few years ago. We are all addicted to our phones because really they are no longer phones but information mines that we keep digging into. Brilliant rhymes and flow and resonating words! Love Dolly x

Comment from Aussie
Well done poet! Your poem had a great sing-song story line that kept the reader reading about the dead phone. Addiction is the word for these beasties! They have become dangerous when driving or even walking across the street. I have read about two women that were knocked down by a car! What did we do before mobile phones? We communicated with our family and friends in other ways. Thanks for sharing. I wish I had six stars for you. ****** six virtual stars!!

Thank you for your understanding review. I greatly appreciate your comment and the virtual six.
I think I told you my grandson is in Australia playing soccer on the Gold Coast. They just won the semi-finals for the Gold Coast Cup. He is so excited. .

Hello Janet, No, you didn't tell me your grandson was on the Gold Coast. I think he is doing very well winning the semi- finals! Bless you proud grandmother XXX Kay.
