THIS POEM IS ABOUT MY CONFUSION WITH TECHNOLOGY

Sizzling technology fried up dark and crisp like bacon Not the way i like it with sunny side up eggs Driving me mad with its peculiar nuances And its changing ways, almost sinister A cape of confusion too crisp on the outlying whites The rooster crows, pounding its chest, so proud But the defeated farmer runs to the barn to diminish the flames Kim Rodrigues © 2017

So true! It should make things easier but it still has difficult aspects. Thank you, Frank!

This one leaves me scratching my head a bit I must confess! The imagery that I am receiving is rather peculiar indeed! So the barn burned down with all the farm animals inside I gather, from a faulty electrical appliance? Am I near the honey jar?

No! The whole poem is about my anxiety over technology! Trying to figure things out! I was using Word on my ipad now there is a space between each line with no fix. Now i'm trying google docs! Why so much confusion! :)
