Yes, the voice of experience goes unheard in this modern world just as it always did.

Love the symbol of the microwave for convenience and speed - qualities much admired nowadays.

Good social commentary in this short write.

Best of luck.

This is very true. Very good 5-7-5 poem for the contest. It has the perfect syllable count. Good luck in the contest.

I like how this poem reflects on CHANGE and a possible generation gap.
Novel use of "Micro-wave" to describe the world of young people today. The word connotes "fast" and "short-lived" rather than "permanent."

Tried and true answers
Sound old fashioned to our youth
In Micro-wave world

So true, eh? It's a world made up of instant puddings and quick cook suppers. Sigh.

HI! The pace of everyday life is such that the young, so concentrate on the survival of the fittest, that the truisms of the wise old folk are ignored because they are thought not to apply to present day life. How very, very, sad. Good luck in this comp. wiljacro.

Yes a good summation of how fast our world is moving and 'advancing' at dizzying speeds -leaving the 'past' behind and neglected - superb pic
