Game Play

Seuss Style - #1

Children frolicked as they should

All around the neighborhood

Playing games of every kind

Like Hopping-Scotch and Seek & Find

But game play has now gone high-tech;

Active thumbs and bent-down neck

The only movement you will see

When they pick up their gadgetry

Maybe someday very soon ~

Perhaps this very afternoon ~

They’ll cross on through the cyber-gate

And then, they’ll start to pixelate

Now, it may be more than wise

To come up with a compromise

So children learn the balance trick

Commanding more than point and click

Author's Note

Releasing my inner Seuss...

YOu could be right. Thank Heavens I see children playing basketball ...All around my neighborhood/ jumping, shooting as they should

That is wonderful, Marie - I do see kids playing outside, but those gadgets seem to hypnotize them...

I like the rhythm of this, it does remind me of Dr. Seuss. This poem is so true also, it's sad that most people now days are so hooked on their games and gadgets, they don't have time to see the real world and people surrounding them it seems.

Good Job

Thank you, Peacekeeper. I see this a lot with young people, and worry that they are missing so much...

[~*~Peace Keeper~*~]

You're welcome, and I agree, there needs to be balance so they can also know how to be in the real world and meet the people in it.
