The Internet Age

The Internet Age


Great, snow-flocked pines, of unimagined beauty
soar over the vagaries of on-line banking

There, among the towering clouds, and
I-pad intentions, a stillness persists,
unchanged for millennia

Alone, in my designs, carefully crafted in words
and images, I invoke meaning from faraway times,

Content to back-them-up in my word processor-   




Inspired by the poetry of Timothy Donnelly

With all the new apperati we have, the words still come from our hearts and minds, Jimbo. Remember the days when our human memories replaced word processors? Very cool perspective on modern life portrayed through your poetry -- something of a new style for you. Donnelly truly inspired you! Love, Carolyn
