When Life Is A Meme

like a selfie 
that wasn’t taken
I’m the guy in the street

I know 
you’re captioning me
from your side of the road

and the shops 
with their massive eyes
are making me too viral

Ink Empress Date: 12/23/2023 12:39:00 AM Ah i love this concept! I recently wrote on a prompt on instagram called “ love is not w meme” a very creative prompt. And I absolutely love your title, life is a meme, funny how life is and people keep captioning for us, as if they know better hey. All eager eyes making us all go viral! Clever one! So creative! A fave for me this is. Pleasure always reading you Login to Reply Ink Empress Date: 12/23/2023 7:37:00 AM My poem was about gaslighting… it was a collaborative poem. Might share on soup. You did an excellent job Clive Culverhouse Date: 12/23/2023 1:10:00 AM Yes, I used the middle verse as an analogy for stigma towards mental health issues like anxiety, so pleased you liked it, thanks IE

Hiya Sharma Date: 12/22/2023 7:19:00 AM Oh, this is such an artistic poem, when in this digital world gives a new identity to hidden conspiracies and gossips, whilst people extend their judgemental opinions , ignoring the emotions a person's soul.. Quite a deep, introspective and insightful write this is.. It's always a pleasure to read your poems, they are always profound..
