Laura Leiser Poet Monorhyme

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.

Jesse Day August 3, 2016 at 8:31 AM 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! Laura Leiser August 3, 2016 at 8:58 PM Thanks for your explanation, Jesse. It was fun to do even if I didn't place :)

Daniel Turner July 30, 2016 at 7:25 PM 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! Laura Leiser July 30, 2016 at 8:13 PM 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!
