Dennis' poem about Poets on the Internet made me unearth the following. THE INTERNET We spoke of many things, even rain in fall, sitting all together, feet upon the floor. Lights were dim, music on, breeze through open door, laughing in spite of humour sometimes poor. What remains in memory as years roll far away? Food we ate, sparkling wine, social grace displayed or people in disguise, never being the same, meeting in the street, “how are you today”?. In my thoughts, silently, I now reach into minds unearthing buried tresures I never hoped to find. The people that I meet, ingrained and tuned to fine, remain forever constant, standing by my side. My world a little screen, my friends merely names, hopes and wishes of my heart, words upon a page. Through rain and howling wind I never bend to change but stay until eternity…….. tied to ”The Internet”!! |

Honey Bunch, Yes! The internet is our window to the world (God forbid the power goes out) where we met and touch lives with our words and wit! Good observations! Dennis :^) Moonbeams radiate When the veiling cloud has past Playful shadows dance Dennis L. White :^) |

Reminds me of the last time my network went down...I thought I was going to need serious medication...luckily, I remembered I could go outside...but it still wasn't a replacement for coming here and reading poems like this. I like it a lot. "If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing." --Kingsley Amis |

Thank you, Denise and Gofor42. Oh yes, the world of our minds - wonderful place! I hope they never come up with an antidote. |
