Serving Lifetime in a Cell [Sunku for March Contest]

Feels like
holding world
in my pocket

From my
Loo I roam
around the globe

Turning
me deaf to
knocks on the door

Thanks Gee

For reading and decoding the poem. I wanted to see if the huge impact of Cell/Smart phones can really be captured in Sunku form and to try and get it aesthetically right. I hope whosoever is going to judge is familiar with what Sunku is....

No problems Jane if you don't

No problems Jane if you don't have the space and time to join the workshop. As and when possible, keep an eye on it. May be if it stimulates your muse when you have more leisure time you can give it a go.

Mean time...Happy Women's Day!

Knocks on Doors

This was very relatable - especially with the knocking on the door. For me, if someone does knock, you would figure I'm wanted by police guaging by the way I jump. Almost scared of the outside sometimes.

I enjoyed the poem. I don't really feel qualified to offer critique of any sort.

Thanks for the read. "Knocks

Thanks for the read. "Knocks on the door" is with reference to second stanza meaning knocks on the Loo door.

very good, Raj

except the word, 'around'. it's superfluous.
rather 'the (two syllables) globe'

'chip fed'? lol.

anyways, very simply, your sunku is spot-on.
as 'acme', not 'acne'. lol.

Best wishes....val x
