Notes About The Poem

THIS POEM IS ABOUT MY CONFUSION WITH TECHNOLOGY

Out of the Frying Pan

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

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! :)
