Logging Out .

dearest Al this write has me stumped
as it's a drug poem...

I almost feel it could be written for me
as I let the dark out today...

it is an intriguing write
I always go hunting for the deeper meaning
it mostly alludes me...

but speaking from my own perspective
this write talks to me
of taking a break from this space
and letting myself heal from my disease...

it's a great write AL...

would love to get some hints
to your intentions...

love Brenda

Hey Bren

Hope you're well?

As per your lower comment yes the drug metaphor is very much regarding the inability to give up the online life. However short the period.

Aah you know how it goes, the online lights are on, not even in vacinity and people get hurt. There casualties to all of life I think.

I need a break sometimes.

Thanks for the reading and the commenting.

Al, i am empathetic with your desire to switch-off both metaphysically and literally. Often I log-off DUP, ostensibly, only to find I am still logged in on a smartphone etc.  Also, I tend to stay mentally logged in even when the screen is dark.  We live in this age of perpetual information stimulation and many,  me included,  feel we're misding out if not constantly connected. Bravo Sir!

Exactly!

Rather glad you see what I'm saying.

This online life can be confused with real life, so easily.

And yes FOMO!

And as true as...
Logged out,
Heard Hemi had dropped one. Was logged back in for the read so quickly. It was crazy.

So it all sounds good in theory. But the practical.. Haha not so much.

Al

Yeah, was thinking about that too. Still contemplating....
A.

Yeah...

It's hard to do. Not easy going.

Al

okay I get it now du is a drug
yes indeed it is...

love Brenda

😉

.... there’s a log out button?

... where?!

... of what speaketh thou, good sir?!

😂

Neat little introspection. Bravissimo.

Thank you My Missy Miss

Glad it speaks.

I'm not saying where that button is.
I'm hiding it!

😉

What isn't a drug Al? I just love this ink man it rings true on so many different levels. But what makes it a great poem, is it makes the reader do some introspection after reading...I am.
Cheers...Harry

Aaah Hary

I'm always working at finding something new to leave the reader with.

Glad it spoke inside you.

Al

good write AL

Thanks for the visit, reading & comment.

Good to have you here


Al

now that makes me
raise one eyebrow
and a a deep gash-like wrinkle
forms on this cold forehead!

if this coldest write
of yours kindlly Sir, is what i am dreading
then that Log-In
must be not too far away Okay??

this is a gem...
for the sheer imagery and depth

but that doesn't mean the critic in me
has left critique-ing :-)
dear Friend!!

Good on you Cold!

No, the introspection will never keep me away from home.

Critique is a solid friend of mine.
Couldn't live without readers who voice their needs in my writing. For me I wouldn't post here in these halls if not for the honesty of it.

Thanks for bringing your cold self to the pages and words mate!

Al

And don't forget to delete all the cookies.

😂😂😂 I never remember cookies...

Tea at my house is bland.

Hey Absinthe, good to see you back!

Al

I love the metaphor you’ve used here, Al. If we could log out of so many things our lives seem bound too, might we achieve freedom! Wonderful message written brilliantly!

Yeah, that's a button I had to familiarize myself with recently as well. Gotta hit that reset and refresh one's own page once in a while. But we always manage to find our way back, don't we?   :-)

Love this one!
