Lost In Cyberspace

That'll teach me
Or will it?
Penned a poem with the keyboard
Dumb move, 
I admit it.

You're not going to get me
I tapped back in
And my words 
Disappeared again
Oh, that's a sin.

Poor poet on line
Why dost thou insist
On leaving your pen behind
When you know 
It is a risk?

They were tapping back at me
As if they knew the rules
And then
I hit that key
And finally lost my cool.

Congratulations on being featured, Karen. Make a back up WHILE composing. Save often. Use microsoft word or something. Then, you can keep your cool...Been there... sadly. Keep writing! DAS-J
