Lost

Lost

 

 

twilight twitter

twixt texts

the real feelings

felt 

felonious, fractured

when fingers feel the keys

 

corrupt the core

of what innately,

intricately

inspires

 

Love.

We are losing the ability to communicate directly on a face to face basis. So involved are we with technology, pressing keys instead of talking to people, I wonder where it will lead? Some might say lost opportunities for love, younger people might disagree. It seems many younger people find love online.

Great alliteration. You are giving Bunny some serious competition here Jacob.

Bunny is the king...but i appreciate your kind words...and being mentioned in the same alliterative sentence as bunny.

Yes, modern technology leaves love the worse for wear. Loved the alliteration here.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

This triggers thoughts of on line dating where only the good is on show, a somewhat false misinterpretation.

just as i am reading your comment, the tv in the background...mentioned on line shopping.
mmm maybe the same thing in a way.
thank you, andrew.

Wow I love this:) and I hate the truth of it makes me sad when our representations of cyber presences become more important than our actual presence:( I’m lucky in that realm I have many live actual customers that can’t order there meals or buy an antique without human interactions and I will not serve a customer whilst twittering in twitches taking my time:/ love this poem tho:)

That would be awesome

We've lost a lot--especially, to AI.
But, of course, it began much earlier. The TV and telephone quickly replaced
neighbors, friends and family conversing, for much of the evening, on porches
or front steps. In Winter, folks regularly had "company" over.
An excellent, sad and timely poem, J!

I like what you have said here, Jimmy.
Let me tell you about something that happened here in Southern Illinois...in May of 2009 we had an inland hurricane. So much damage...in our cul-de-sac 50 trees downed...we lost electricity for 11 days...next door to me there was a bonfire going 24/7--everyone cleared out freezers of meat..and it was one long barbecue...we all sat around and actually got to know one another...beautiful...as soon as the electricity came back on...that was it...barely a wave hello back and forth.
yes....nothing like face to face contact.

Sad that it often takes a tragedy to bring us back to "normal."
Great story, Jacob!

‘Twilight twitter twixt texts’ ~ interesting sounding words. Twitter is banter and too much of it takes away from the real thing to be said. Feeling are lost in a flurry of texts. It’s so common nowadays...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, unfortunately ....feeling, face to face contact, real contact are all lost.
thank you, DIVYA,

You’re most welcome, Jacob.

loved this, you've been reading to much Bad Bunny, lol and why not, great alliteration

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, gram...and i love reading Bunny....and admit he does tend to rub off...
he is the best at alliteration in my eyes..
