Instagram Esteem

Virtual peace is a tempest Filter flipped image betrays Surreal people can tempt us Validity is a mirrored maze Fake befriends us flimsily Roller coaster emotion cued Midday in minutes celebrity A million likes acrewed Instagram's grimy agenda - Tempting tid bits to imbibe Sponsor is content moulder Trends with which to abide Facile images wrap wanting In flashy eyesore cellophane White smile wide so taunting Sells prettied desires innane Improved self hovers inticingly Unscrupulous spruker won't refute Product spin drips like rotisserie Placed tastiest low hung fruit Bamboozled by the beautiful Venommed vast eyed viewers Suck insta famous inflated ramble Screen sheen sugar allures 13th August 2020

Wonderful poem, Sigrid. I especially like the lines 'bamboozled by the beautiful, venomned vast eyed viewers.' Great job!

Your rhyming is perfect throughout this pen and adds to the cynicism of vanity, materiality and advertisement. Awesome.

It seems there is so much information being spread virtually these days that the lines between real and fake, between reality and fantasy have become very blurred. I'm not sure anyone really knows what the truth is. Nicely stated, Sigrid. Hugs, John
