Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

Trying to write poetry about the internet is probably a mistake, but I'd be intrested to know what you lot think oF this attempt. And any ideas for a title?

Shouting in the ether
You are only what you make
What you type
is what you are
pictures from the screen-words
reality ignored

reality ignored
the screen-word’s pictures
are what you are
Defining you
made by what you make
Echoes through the ether.

Interesting thought. But do you think we ignore reality or just shape it to our own benefit?(Not that I'm arguing with your poem.)

'bend' doesn't have the same stresses as 'ignore'. It wouldn't work in the poem, even if it is truer, which I don't intend arguing over. The point is that you could be ignoring it, and that would be bad. Maybe. Am I making any sense?
