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!
