The Poems You Almost Wrote

Attackers plant malware on computer via a USB drive or SD card Drone flies outside window with computer & analyzes the blinking LED lights Lights create a Morse code-like pattern that can be translated into data Experts suggests a method to disconnect fragile computers from the web There were many and they were neatly stacked inside my suave computer that once was hacked when it came to content well, I know they lacked but if I had a stick, at least they would be backed When it came to poetry well, I was the cat's meow but when it came to computers I could not avow each poem contained I little bit of sweet endow One day I lost it all my friend, nearly had a cow The poems I almost wrote still sit inside my head but I know those sneaky hackers, use power led so now I hide my led lights and keep it all unsaid each word still lives in me, my poetry isn't dead.

Hi Vienna...Losing information, whether poetry or other, can be devastating, as I learned at own cost. But now I take precautions, and also back up anything of importance. An external hard disk definitely helps; making use of "Cloud" and similar alternatives is worth it, too. To cap it all, I write everything by hand in journals! ~ Regards /x/ paul

lol Yes I think it may exist in some far corner of the world, where gargoyles with gigantic wings bring it there to be sepulchered, brrrr,

It is so sad not to see any replies from you since we were great friends. It could be the hackers who knows.

It is so sad....Rose. I know how depressing it is when by mistake a file is lost. I can so well relate. Recently I wrote a poem and it is still missing. I think I inadvertently deleted it and from my head also it is gone.However as your poems are in your head, they are not dead !
