Selfie

Just an indulgence

In self-gratification

And egotism

Guilty as charged! A victim of this era, maybe. For what it's worth, I delete 99% of them. Brilliant brevity and images here. I do wonder... what was the "selfie" of the 1950s? Haven't we all had some means of indulgence, self-gratification and egotism. Good one, sir.

In the 1600s it was the self portrait - thanks for the kind review my friend … :-)

Oh how we like to look at ourselves . . . may be because we quickly forget what we look like, or imagine ourselves to be different from what we are. And they said the 70"s were the "me" decade??!!!

There are two kinds of people. Some look toward themselves & others look outside themselves. It amazes me how many people post nothing but selfies on social media. I once texted with a good looking guy for a year & almost every day he sent me a new selfie, in some cases saying: "here's your fix!" That's taking ego to the limit & so does your concise msg! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Hello, Phill! :)
This Writing is a selfie of your thoughts. No photo of your pretty face, but your thoughts digitized.

Jacob, you are the first person I've known about who has never had a cell phone! I never have, either. I can use the excuse that there's no coverage in the boondocks here! *wink! wink!*

[jacob erin-cilberto]

ha ha....yes, never will either...i have my land-line which never loses connection, for my calls to friends who live other places...but when i am out and about...i want to be engaged in whatever i am doing...i don't need to talk on the phone...and at my age, i remember well when we didn't have them...and we survived.

I just love how Phill writes poems that promote discussion among the WC poets...he pushes buttons so well.

I consider it a badge of honor for the best poets to have cross-pollenation shares all over their postings!
