The Greatest Invention
A day without chatting with you my friend,
is a day I thought would never end.
Each time I heard the yahoo clicking,
my heart started thumping loud ticking.
Alas my dear friend was not to be found ,
no smileys were sent, not even a sound.
As my screen lay empty and so bare,
I just sat wishing you were there.
For though miles are far in between,
a friend so near on computer screen.
I am here for you, you are there for me,
an on-line friendship so heavenly.
Typing the letters, adding a hug,
sending love so warm and so snug.
A chance meeting through happenstance,
special feeling, worth second glance.
Cheers my friends, from far away lands,
from land down under, to desert sands.
Across the country, across the sea,
just a click brings friends closer to me

I liked the flow here, this was a great poem. It seemed a little sad but I think it’s good when you miss your friends as it shows you like them
This was a good poem about online friendship. Good use of rhyme here.
All the best

Sooo refreshing
Oooh, I love this poem. It is so refreshing, light and fun, with wonderful flow and meter. I particulary love this poem, as this is how I met my present, significant other from across the oceans. I in South Africa and he on Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, Canada. We have been together for over 3 years now and all thanks to messenger on Yahoo. Love, hugs and merriment, always. Marilyn -
Who would have thought years ago that when man stepped on the moon that we'd have computers that we could use to chat with people all over the world? It really is mind boggling, but such a great invention. Great sentiments expressed in these lines.

This is an awesome poem. I absolutley love it. I can relate to this poem so well. Am missing a special someone tonight and we talk everyday and I feel lonely today for I haven't spoken to the person. A great invention was the computer and internet. Lucky we have the technology and we can meet all different people on the internet some that are close friends. Well done with this poem. Good luck in the contest. All4hugs
