Going On a Cyberfast

I'm going on a cyberfast some folks doubt, say it won't last "What will you do, instead?" they ask I'll lock the screen and blithely cast the whole thing out, I'll have a blast I'll read, I'll write, I'll live and bask in warm sunlight, in nature's vast delights, and daydream of the past cuz' I'm the quintessential iconoclast.

I found your poem well written and I thoroughly enjoyed the message of personal growth. The idiom is creative and fit the theme of the poem very well. The contest was highly competitive which left out about 10 poems which were worthy of placement – including this one. Thanks for entering the contest and I will check out some more of your creative work!

Thanks for your explanation, Jesse. It was fun to do even if I didn't place :)

I love it, Laura. It wouldn't be that hard for me. I lived most of my life without modern technology. Actually it is a nuisance and not a necessity for me. Progress, bah-humbug!

I grew up without it, too, and sometimes feel it gets much too invasive in my life....but, here I am, "talking" with you via the internet! Hard to get away from it now, I guess !! Thanks for you comments!
