Digital Overload
Dancing with Distraction Challenge Entry
Digital overload
Interruptive and intrusive
Sucks you in
Takes your time,
Reality and creativity
Are friends electric?
Can't pull away?
There's always an app for that
Isolation, there's an app for that
Need escape from digital overload? - there's an app for that!

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

There was a lot of truth. I constantly wrestle my kids away from the electronics. It really does suck you in and take your time
Lol, nowadays there's an app for everything! There's even an app to remind people to pee 🤣🤣🤣 Loved your poem!
Pow-pow! (or if you're a Stepbrothers fan - PAH!) This was like a truth punch to the gut, Paul. So good!
Is this the final irony that overwhelms us completely? Nicely underlined Paul!
Too true and I loved that last line! A great challenge entry, Paul.
Awesome work!
'Need escape from digital overload? - there's an app for that!' - ironically, but yes, there kinda is! Freaking digital all-inclusive paradise!
Incredible job and there is a Great App I like to use for Relaxation...❤️🔥📝😉❗
Great challenge entry and likely be a Top Story
