Today's word is "keysmash" ... kee-smash ... a random string of letters and symbols typed out on a keyboard or touchscreen, used to signal intense emotion in written communication. (Dictionary.com)

No more pen or paper,
No more cursive prose,
No proper fingers on the keys,
So what do you propose?
Shall we make due with pixels,
Or printing's progress slow,
iPads, phones, and tablets,
To express our feeling's flow?
Somehow I think we're losing,
The tender, human touch,
A keysmash may be appropriate,
When it's all too much.
