Skypku

Topics: fun

telephone burbles
scrambling to find the window
finally answered!
ringing through the net
freedom to connect at will
doomed to voicemail
Mumbai to Madrid
Antarctica to Shanghai
Skypenet shakes the world
Can you hear me now?
Let me adjust this setting
Can you hear me now?
Only text me first
Mom said don't talk to strangers
Earn my attention
distance is deader
free fast clear text vid voice ping
do you speak english?
fumbled wire headphones
tangled in usb cords
call evades my grasp
hey baby skype me
on our skypenet everyone
knows you are a dog

awwwwwwwww Phil .... more hidden talents - poetry says soooo much.

kevin - share with us what your girlfriend thought - especially when she read the last verse :):):)

Kevin! Girlfriend(sss)??!!

Phil, many won't know how quickly this piece of brilliance just jumped out. It emerged in minutes from and exchange we were all having internally. The phrase poetic justice was used. For some reason I googled for "Skype Poetry". What I ended up with was a link to this post..
http://www.corante.com/brandshift/archives/2005/02/16/poetry_and_fear.php

and this quote "Perhaps business people should junk the language and thought patterns of business- and adopt the language of poetry."

Phil's Skypku emerged. Poetic too!

Great "added value" post for SkypeJournal :)

If I were a sneaky Hollywood producer (someday, I hope ;), I'd license the last poem for future use in one of my movies. Could be a great sticky punchline.

Just need a good star to carry it out - and it's the next buzz.
