Shakespeare did write a many splendid tale;
Which intertwined with many interrupts;
But here he will succeed and I will fail;
For lack of ever dealing with popups.
While speaking Will’s own voice I try again;
In hopes my pen this time obeys my soul;
But phones and tablets power on and send;
Distractions, work emails in urgent bold.
If other authors tried to write like him;
Did they distract themselves in such a way?
Or is it simply me who posts on in-
stagram, twitter, and facebook every day?
I guess if I don’t power down my shit,
I’ll never be able to write sonnets.
Love the enjambment with in-
stagram!
Thank you! Felt inspired to dust off the old notebook.
