before mass all heads bowed to smart phones
—C. P. Harrison
Issue 13.2 | 26 August 2013
I just love this poem. A true sign of the times.
a mobile phone in the half-empty pub the one-sided conversation
Alan Summers ‘in a heron’s eye’ Jack Stamm Haiku Award 1999 anthology ISBN 0 9577925 0 6 pub: Paper Wasp, Australia
I gasped (in admiration) when I read this. Bravo!
during the sermon a phone rings to the tune of "All You Need Is Love"
Wonderful haiku, sign of times indeed!
these days the egret the only one in paddies without a cell phone
devout following the sermon on his phone
Strider
Thanks for all the kind words!
This made me laugh – at least it was 'before mass'!
