It seems like we have a theme of net relationships in poetry going. So here's my contribution and it's not pretty. Lonely people cruise the net to find their fantasy Instead the get advertisements that breach serenity Lonely people search the net to link romantically instead they find the kooks and porn and weird philosophy Lonely people night after night send signals near and far Hoping for the unicorn or the wishing star, instead they find no peace of mind, no wonder from afar But neighboring hospitality, from people who bear scars Lonely people dream the dream for which most just aspire Hear within another's text the sound of angel's choir Wait with patience to be known, to be emotionally higher Lonely people walk each night, inter-space, frightening wire. Lonely people will persist until all time is done In case there's something, they have missed under the setting sun Lonely people, lonely lives offer one by one the sacrifice of loneliness, when friendships deep are won. Kethry. When dark of night steals your soul. Think of me and be made whole. |

whew, Kethry this is so right on. Great poem as well. And as hard as all of those things are, I still somewhat better off than before we had this ability to connect to others in this way. What do you think? Good outweigh the bad? Lets have everyones opinion on this.  catalinamoon |

Unfortunetely where there is good there is bad...but I must say I have made some wonderful connections that would have not been possible without the internet. Excellent point, and very good poem!!!!! The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose...--Hada Bejar |

This poem is very true....with all the good things that can come from the net there are also the bad things "There is no always forever-just this-R.Smith broken glass never cuts the way it should-Gin |

The net is like life: You get what comes down the pipe. The difference is, in life you can't hit the Delete key...but oh I wish we could at times. I find lonely people on the net...but I find just as many happy people. The net satisfies man's most basic instinct: To communicate. And, like life, it is up to each of us to decide with whom. If the net never existed, it is doubtful I would be having this exchange with someone in Australia...who has written a beautiful poem expressing so many feelings. Thank you, Kethry Hardrock |
