Modern Balance - Sonnet
Listen to this sonnet.

A sonnet is a 14-line poem with a specific rhythm and rhyme pattern.
It often explores themes like love, nature, time, or beauty.
This sonnet is about a smartphone and a book competing for a child's attention.
The sonnet highlights the importance of reading and balanced technology use.

In modern times, a child began to play, 
With gadget bright, a smartphone gripped so tight, 
A book lay near, neglected in the fray, 
Its wisdom dimmed beneath the screen’s cool light. 

The smartphone glowed with games that drew his gaze, 
Its endless scroll a siren's call to lure, 
But in the book, a world of ancient ways, 
Lay waiting still, with treasures deep and pure. 

The book then spoke, its voice a patient plea, 
"Dear child, within my pages worlds unfold, 
Of daring quests, of boundless mystery, 
A timeless gift more precious than mere gold." 

Through books and screens, his mind began to soar, 
Unlocking doors to knowledge evermore.
