How I Became An Online Poet

   The first time in a chatroom paled  
To what would later be regaled  
 
A life of cyber stories told  
The lovers in my poems bold  
 
That started in a chatroom greet  
With each becoming passion's meet  
 
And soon in several days attend  
Where I was drawn my nights to spend    
 
Inside a white room with four walls  
No doors, no chairs, the echoed halls  
 
The words I saw scroll up a screen  
Became the voices that would mean  
 
That this, a new reality  
Was now how I would gauge for me  
 
A world I'd feel emotions raw  
To vindicate the things I saw  
 
And act upon the trust I gave  
Not realizing such a knave

Knew where I came from innocent
Has little changed in their intent

Though rooms of chat for me are done
I still rely on everyone

The lovers, friends, both old & new
Who most are also writers too

I can't believe the other way
Was better from back in the day

Because years since I post on site        
Where poetry's the place to write

For my addiction's tempered with
The love I have for each wordsmith
