Notes About The Poem

Data

Sometimes I feel like Data
     an android
     an autist
     binary and metal
     mind over matter
Forever searching humanity
Never being able to pass through metal detectors
                    Having deep emotions
                         misunderstood
                         impossible to express 
                                         Questioning and inquisitive
                                              sad without crying
                                              happy without laughing
I feel like Data
with my green eyes
always

Tim Smith May 13, 2017 at 10:00 PM Excellent my friend. You are more than just data you are a rainbow painting the world a smile. Darren White May 13, 2017 at 11:47 PM Thanks my friend, that is a beautiful thing you say!

Arthur Vaso May 13, 2017 at 9:57 PM Data a great poem!!!! Amazing!!! Darren White May 13, 2017 at 11:41 PM Aywa, thanks my friend :)

Anne-Marie Coreggia May 13, 2017 at 6:40 PM What another beautiful creative piece Darren, which I don't think Data could have spun. I absolutely loved that character who wanted to experience more of the human condition, and I see why you would sometimes feel like him:) Amitiés Darren White May 13, 2017 at 11:34 PM Thanks Anne-Marie. He is by far my favourite character in any of the series... He is insanely good created and the artist playing him is incredible. That subtle humour, his emotions, everything.

Lisa Ricci May 13, 2017 at 2:53 AM Morning Darren. This entry makes me go hmmmmm. "Having deep emotions undetected impossible to express except in poems Questioning and inquisitive sad without crying happy without laughing" The all of it is very expressive and so creative. What can I say other than top level. Darren White May 13, 2017 at 2:59 AM The poem is the result (or the fault) of a conversation Chris and I had earlier. We both love Star Trek. I recognise things in Data and I find him endearing :) Thanks my friend.

Kabutha Paul Hempstone May 12, 2017 at 11:44 PM Beautiful! Darren White May 13, 2017 at 2:55 AM Thank you :)

Sara Ella May 12, 2017 at 7:28 PM I love Star Trek the Next Generation. Data was so fun :D You do express so much in your poems - you reach so many with your words. Not Data but Darren <3 Darren White May 12, 2017 at 11:11 PM I love Data :) I don't mind having a few characteristics in common plus my green eyes <3

Agnes Krampe May 12, 2017 at 5:31 PM That is such an interesting way of describing the way you feel, Darren - and it makes sense to me. I love reading your poetry, though - writing like this is something Data could not do :) Darren White May 12, 2017 at 11:10 PM He most certainly wouldn't be able to :) I wonder what his poetry would look like! Thanks Agnes.

Jan Allison May 12, 2017 at 12:51 PM Having worked with aspergers studentsi can relate to your comparison i always loved Data in next generation... you may have similarities but you have a massive heart:-) hugs Jan xx Darren White May 12, 2017 at 1:01 PM Heya Jan, I am very happy that you like my heart! And yeah, if it weren't for you understanding me the way I was in my early Soup days, I would have disappeared quickly :)

Chris Green May 12, 2017 at 12:27 PM One of my favorite characters...not Data, you. : ) Ok, Data was my favorite Next Generation character but you are my favorite poetic character. Really nice my friend. Beaming over a few smiles your way. "Energize" Darren White May 12, 2017 at 11:13 PM Jean Luc has that voice that makes me all melt inside hah! Plus he is very handsome yes. (He really is, weird huh?) Jan Allison May 12, 2017 at 5:17 PM Oh I love that episode too - hubby and I watched all the next generation series last year and I have to admit Jean Luc Picard is extremely watchable - its the voice lol:-) hugs Jan xx Chris Green May 12, 2017 at 1:13 PM That is one of my favorite episodes as well. Darren White May 12, 2017 at 12:51 PM "Energize!" :D It is your fault that I wrote this you know? We talked about Data earlier this week. Plus I am watching all episodes of "Next Generation" at the moment. Data makes me smile, and laugh out loud, A few minutes ago he was Sherlock Holmes, one of the best ever....
