When you're a phone

July 13, 2013
By Anonymous

Things to do if you’re a phone:

Connect 2 loved ones overseas
Break 2 people up that were once in love
Tell someone that they have won
Tell someone that a loved 1 has passed
Be sociable
Be “silent”
Be broken
Be replaced

I loved this piece! It was very creative to write from the perspective of a phone. In the beginging, I thought that this would be a silliar poem, but as I continued to read, I realized the meloncholy mood that you created and realized that it is a more serious poem. Great job!
