Cyber Friend Poem by Pete Crowther
Cyber Friend
I’ve never heard your voice nor seen
Your face or felt your touch but yet
I feel I know you better than
I know my sister or my brother.
Perhaps because we are so far
Apart the normal rules don’t hold:
We can relax and be ourselves —
No need to raise the usual
Defensive barriers and fences.
Instead we share our inner thoughts
As though confiding to a diary.
If either one is feeling blue
There’ll be no lack of sympathy.
We know each other’s tastes and sense
Of humour: you may not hear me laugh
Nor see me smile but yet I do,
It’s great to share a joke and have
A laugh, but best of all I like
To pass the time in friendly chat
With you. It cheers me up no end.
Oh yes! I recommend
A cyber friend.
there is a danger in it too! the possibility to fabricate a personality...to put forth a lie.
That's what I missed most when I was away from PH :) It's amazing how one can write on similar subjects without any risk of writing the same. I have a poem called 'Some day' and it's also about a cyber friend. But yours is completely different. I love it! A 10. Julia
Awwww shucks Pete, you wrote a poem about us! ! I hope my other three personalities don't get jealous. We might come after you and watch you while you are sleeping in your bright red and gold Egyptian Galabiyeh with a white turban on your head and your cute little tinky winky toes are peeping out from underneath before we snip them off one by one with a cigar cutter and pickle them. How is your motorbike going these days? How are the breaks? Haaaaaaa, haaaaaaa, haaaaaaaaa, haaaaaaaa, cackle, cackle
You said it well Pete. I even have a great and cool cyber friend :) . Nice poem man.
A lovely piece of writing here Peter, I agree you can be totally yourself without putting on a face, trying to be someone you are not, I'm totally me on this PH site. I hope everyone is too. Lovely poem. Love Ernestine XXX
I enjoyed your poem. There are some very strange people on the internet, but occasionally you come across genuine cyber friends. Some parts of your piece i can really identify with. Great write. Kindest Regards Slim. x.

I wholeheartedly agree with this Peter! I've found some of my ''Best Friends'' here in cyber space. You are exactly right......you can be so much more open and it is such a joy. Your friend is very lucky! Sincerely, Mary
