These were ubiquitous when I was a kid (exposing my age here, haha). I love your depiction here, especially in this striking blue! If you felt like challenging yourself, you could add a pixelated shot of a game to the screen -- but then again, it'd be tough to choose which one!
This is a great example of communicative and moving poetry that comes from a very simplistic rhyme scheme. There is an absence of "big words," but you don't always need to use a complex vocabulary to produce something that makes you FEEL. In fact, there's something tidy and succinct in the pairing of your words that works to strengthen this piece. Well done!
This says to me that you've truly learned how to live in the moment (even if it feels like procrastination sometimes). We all deserve a little beauty in our day, and often we must grasp onto it when it presents itself or it can so quickly slip away. And I love your play on that Benjamin Franklin quote: "One today is worth two tomorrows"!
Your words are saturated with emotion: futility and despair, but also compassion for others and the struggles they will now face. You're not alone in how you feel, know that. Family and community is what will bind and strengthen us as we move forward into this precarious future.

Oh no! That IS a terrible feeling, losing a notebook or a diary or anything else you've put your voice into. Is that what happened? I hope you find it again!
Hi! To write something meaningful is really dependent on who is writing it and who is reading it. For something meaningful, I suggest writing about something that is close to you or you have experienced, especially if its an emotional one. Vocab wise, I think incorporating emotional language is great to make something meaningful but also its entirely up to your writing style. Important words to a piece are usually words that fit in with the certain narrative you're pushing, looking up synonyms to common words or 'uncommon English words' on Pinterest should help with some inspiration. I do not know if I'm being helpful at all but I hope I was lol, happy writing!

but my dear could this have ever been put off?
"I prefer to watch the last bits of dusk be swallowed by the night"
To miss it would mean forever.
