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

Much is lost in our new electronic age, Clive. It is easier to deceive and mislead others. Nice poetry, my friend. Write On! Bill

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

My poem was about gaslighting… it was a collaborative poem. Might share on soup. You did an excellent job

Yes, I used the middle verse as an analogy for stigma towards mental health issues like anxiety, so pleased you liked it, thanks IE

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..
