Faceless friends

This was inspired by a poem that my friend Ray wrote... in honour of us all.

 

There's so much s**t

on the internet

so many sites that

are cruel and dangerous

you never know who is

talking with you but..

.. there is also

such joy

when you find a great place

full of wonderfully

talented, genuine people

people who become..

..even though faceless..

your friends.

Its funny how they play a part

in your life

they provide shoulders

and hearts

and advice

each one of us has

had heartache and pleasure

each with a story of their own,

I will be forever grateful

to my faceless friends

for i would never ever

have had the confidence

to share my thoughts

Thank-you

one and all

my colouful

talented

courageous

special

faceless friends.

Very well written, you have captured what I was looking for in this contest. You showed what friendship is about on the cafe. Thanks for entering my contest.

The internet is a tool for networking and through it we make business contacts, likeminded hobby enthusiasts, and yes, even romantic dalliances. We can chose how close we allow these people to come, which is a great advantage of this medium. We can limit our information, take time to respond with the right words, even ignore and block them if we grow tired of them. I've made some good friends off the internet and some great contacts to further my arts, but I have also picked up some stalkers and liars along the way too. The friends remain, the dogs have disappeared- as have I to them.

You are absolutely correct! Oh, how this poem brings back memories of some wonderful people I once knew on the web... The wonderful communities that have come and gone and the people who were my friends there, who carried me through both dark and light-hearted moments. Our faceless companions.

This is an awesome poem! I love it! It's something I & everyone else on writers cafe can agree with.
