dVerse Poets

For today’s Poetics, I want you all to select ONE of the following three options and write a poem:

I chose #3:

Joe was no genius, she knew from the start

But June loved Joe with her whole heart

It started downhill when she sent him a text

He looked at it, didn’t know what to do next.

He asked a friend to help him write one

That was a mistake, quick as a wink it was done

Whatever was said zoomed through the air

And Joe never knew his friend didn’t care

The text that he wrote was rude and crude

June couldn’t believe the words he spewed

June texted back saying I thought you were sweet

But you’re just like the others with nasty tweets

Joe read her response and had no idea what she meant

He decided to see her to explain what she sent

The moral of the story is, if you don’t know tech’s place

You better stay meeting just face-to-face.
