iPhone poem (a poem)

Yesterday’s prompt in The Daily Poet, by Kelli Russell Agodon and Martha Silano involved using the computer to write, instead of my usual pen and paper. I took it another step further, using my iPhone, and letting the autofill feature guide the sentences. The only drawback turned out to be that the choices were rather limited. Consequently, I went back through what I had written, placing the cursor at different points to check for alternate word choices. I’m not thrilled with the result, but them’s the rules…

Feeling like this’ll do
Watching a showdown between the two
Thinking about the same thing over and over
I’m not sure what it was in the first place
The first time I see the point
I’m so tired that I can’t wait to go

Ringing the doorbell
Great to have the right time
Driving me crazy when Sunday goes on
Her name is the most important thing
Reading the book for a long time
Recognizing that I have no clue
