Computer screen is my paper, keyboard is my pen

                                                   

                                          
How I loved papers! That was long before the computers
Papers in colors white, blue, green to suit the mood
Nice to touch, feel, smelling great with pleasant scents
ruled the world for writers, poets, thinkers

Reams of them were always in stock by the table to put pen to,
to give vent to the imagination,thoughts , In came computers
The papers relegated to  a corner unused, uncared
Computers hold centre stage in the lives of writers,readers alike

Now the Computer screen is my new paper ,key board my pen
Tup, tup, tuping,thud, thudding the thoughts, expressions
Gtetting the text, editing, erasing, correcting all easy
Fingers keying in them moving over the keyboard by rote

This is the story of mine, story of many
Except those few who still have the charm for paper,
The pen , writing, rewriting afresh by hand
Still some more type on computer , write on paper as well

Computer, laptop, tablets, mobiles all brought
The new generation of typers of thoughts on screen
The writer is not dead all typers still being called writers!
They will be so until someone coined a new word for the ilk

This comes typed on the  screen for you onliners
Leaving you with the same feel and responses
Like If you are to read the hand written texts
See you with many more, tup, tup,thud,thud, thanks
