Cyber Love

This was inspired by a "friend" I had a while back.

I have a lovely internet friend,

she's funny, and smart, and can spell.

she's not looking for my money to spend

which is good since I'm broke as hell.

 

She doesn't write in a foreign tongue

her English is impeccable.

My little internal bell hasn't rung

to tell me she's unacceptable.

 

I'm thinking of driving my cyber quad

cross-country to find her farm

where I'll lounge in her cyber hot tub

holding her in my cyber arms.

 

We'll have the cyber candles lit

to bathe us in a cyber glow,

and we'll sip cyber champagne for a bit

and let conversation flow.

 

Should our cyber adventure go any further

I'll let the lady decide.

Perhaps she'll find me not worthy of her

and I'll just have wasted the ride.

I really like this! The rhyme and flow are wonderful, and the theme is one that I have had on my mind for quite some time now. To me, cyber friendships are the modern day version of penpals, only at a faster pace than waiting a week for a letter to arrive. Perhaps it is because I was born to be a poet that I have always found it easier to share my heart and soul in writing. So, in many ways, my cyber friends know me better than those whom I have known face to face. Of course, there are risks but living life to its fullest can be risky. Many 'realtime' relationships fall apart because they may have been started with an outer attraction and often have barely scraped the surface to truly know who the other is inside, on a deeper level. While, cyber friendships tend to work the opposite way, the beauty inside is shown and known before the outer shell is ever seen.

Thanks for sharing this poem. I love it!

I thought this was sort of funny in a way actually... You never know who you're talking to online, you just have to trust them. Of course, trusting a stranger without a face is just, well, stupid.

Very nicely written, very fluent, and nice rhyming. =D

Excellent!
Flow and rhyme......smooth....
Funny and realistic....exposing the way humans can trick themselves into anything, and the digital revolution has smoothed the way to disappointment.
I'll take another....

Of course, as many have found out (not myself, by the way), the lovely young lady you are chatting with may not be a young lady at all. But then if you had met Michael Jackson when he was alive you would never know that he was a black man with white children. By the way, I just heard Princeton professor of African American studies, Cornel West joke that "He loved Michael Jackson, especially when he was a Negro."

I enjoyed it. You do have a way with words. Thanks.

I hate to say it, but this is really cute! I love the rhythm you used, the words danced off the screen and made me laugh, something I needed terribly at the moment. This is such a great little nugget of truth. I'm almost surprised that you didn't mention that Cyber Pedophile show from MSNBC. Well done, once again my friend.
