My name is Charlie Hasler, I live in North Wales with my fiancé. I work at Law firm based in Chester and write in my spare time. My writing started a few years ago but was something I always put down more than I picked up. After a tough couple of years I felt I had some things I needed to say so I have found myself writing again. My writing mainly focuses around poetry. I have self published two poetry books, which are both available on Amazon, Words From An Unlikely Poet, and, Words From An Unlikely Poet: Volume 2: Further Thoughts. Aside from writing I also enjoy walking, reading, gardening and boxing, though I am more a spectator now days. View all posts by Charlie Hasler
So very true

I appreciate the thoughtfulness in this poem. Being human is such a strange contradiction. At one time we were so separated by distances. Now we can be in a room surrounded by people we know and feel very much alone. I suppose the latter could have been true hundreds of years ago too. Humans so long to connect. At the same time, each human has a different means for a connection. One person easily gets to know groups of people. Another person prefers to get to know people in a one-on-one format (my personal preference, thank you introversion).
Wasn’t expecting to write so much in this here comment. It must be true that good writing incites further thoughts. Keep it up!

Thank you very much, appreciate the comment. The poem was inspired by 21 questions for 21st century by yuval noah harari.

Very well said, Sir. I am grateful for blogging, and the folks I meet that way–technology has provided a bridge for the recluses of the world 🙂 Blessings to you.

This definitely should be leading the new age of romantic poetry. Reminds me so much of The Solitary Reaper. Wordsworth’s age lost all that was natural to the industrial revolution. Alas, it’s coming back all over again. Thanks for saying it so superbly.

I deeply relate to this poem. It is so beautifully written, and it expresses exactly what I feel all the time. As a kid I felt really isolated and as the technology has advanced, I find myself feeling isolated again, years later. I feel like social media hurts healthy relationships and makes us all more insecure and depressed. But it helps when others can relate. Keep writing!
