Snapchat

Mark Phibbs

Snapchat. By Mark Phibbs

An app that gives us what you see
It grabs it as its meant to be
Then you can send it to your mates
The Internet opens its gate

A timer that safely removes
It from their view, do they approve?
For some things that are sent about
May cause the watcher quite a shout

For people think it's quite a lark
Who knows what next may draw their spark
The photos and the videos
Sent forth to shed them of their woes

Snapchat, it is the name it has
It's use is growing fast and crass
Even the Facebook shows its rues
As all the fails, you abuse

So what may be the next delight
Some media that will excite
But keep your finger on the screen

It's quick to go, that's just so mean

Mark Phibbs

I am a single man, separated, living life for my kids.I have written poetry for decades, but never really considered sharing it. My Ex kept some of my books that I filled, saying she would publish after I died.I joined a friendship site, and found so many people that really need a lift. Hence, I decided to attempt to help them with my words.My poetry seems to just come to me. Sometimes, I have to fight for the verses, but most times, it is just there. Not sure of the source, but, be it dark, or light, it rears it's head. Sadly I lose a lot of it, due to lack of recording media when inspiration hits.I hope you enjoy what I write. I know that I have been able to help some, and I hope to continue to do so.There is no greater joy, than to change someones mood from sad to happy. more…
