Friend Gone Missing

Friend Gone Missing

I really am in stupefaction,
As to what tore us asunder.
These Hallmark cards, once a year
Infuriate me,
More than the coldest glacial thunder.

With loving exclamations of BFF
proclamations, 
Just stop your justifications!
Sadly, I must admit, technology affected
you with a humongous hit.
If I could, I'd crush your devices into
An overcrowded anti-social exhibit!

Hi I see you also tend to reply in the wrong place, I normally delete and write all over again, but I think I'll take a page out of your thinking here. Social Media has erupted and controlled relationships, not genuine anymore -, Like, Love, Funny Emogie ! I hope Poetry soup doesn't ever give us this option, because the beautiful relationships I have made on this site are amazing, would be devastated to lose them! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Don't hold back. Tell us what you really think. Ha ha. Great poem. It will be interesting to see how society's fascination with social media shapes future friendships and communications. Stay frosty my friend.
