Social Media

We know this too well.

Click and Poke

Click and Poke

Why does this seem

Like such a Joke

Day in and day out

we like and poke

This lovely lady

and this handsome bloke

The world has become

Virtual to us

hanging in our faces

like an oncoming bus

Social media

is for all to see

so what you post

is not hidden from me

Or is it hidden

Who can say?

Social media

is funny that way.

Author's Note

A livelier, more jovial poem, I think. What say you?

a near singsong cadence... you need be careful because even though simple - once you have established a rhythm it IS necessary to keep it throughout.

1 st stanza - "Like" though a good word - breaks the rhythm.
2 nd stanza - second "day" breaks the rhythm, "and" starting last line breaks the rhythm.

Read aloud again and feel the timing and flow... then continue the rest of the way down. Poetry is meant aloud, you have the tones and the cadence and the content worked too. Is a fun AND true piece.

interesting, I will review that
Thanks Chris!

Coffee helps...

[Coll Silvermoon]

I don't drink coffee, but as of late... I've started again. I usually drink tea.

[Chris]

I prefer Liptons and Earl Grey myself - hot or iced. As for coffee I use the intravenous drip attachment on the Keurig, saves wear and tear on coffee mugs.

[Coll Silvermoon]

hehe, I like that.

[Chris]

The attachment only costs an additional 39.95 + S&H from the Home Shopping Network when they offer Keurigs - it's in the fine print you can never quite read no matter how close to the screen you are or how slow you can make the TIVO or Hopper recording run.

[Coll Silvermoon]

hehe :) That's funny :)

[Brittany Zedalis]

[Sue Hart]

That was a great way to describe TV and viewers. I thought it was fun to read because man is it true.

[Coll Silvermoon]

Yep, thanks Sue

LOL, you speak of the reality of how stupid humanity can and has become. Anyone can behind their facade. Respect for kicking out a poem with great flow and sincerity.

[Coll Silvermoon]

Thank you, justjenn_2u :)

[justjenn_2u]

Ha, the social media cracks me up sometimes my friend. The stories I read from Facebook and Twitter make me giggle so much! I don't have either of them but boy, I do love them.

Loved this too!

Thanks Noodlehead :) Social media can be quite comical. I'm on both and then some. Need to network somehow :)

I'm a pretty boring, safe, lass. LOL.
