How Can I Fall in Love with Only Words

September 4, 2016

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is humor.

Today’s poem is a humorous poem about love in the early days of the Internet.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

How can I fall in love with only words?

Words and pictures, grainy and compressed?

A jaypeg love is truly for the birds.

You'd have to wonder whether I'm repressed.

But love it is, through all the bits and bytes,

For someone who's like no one else I've met:

Tender, charming, bright, queen of my nights,

All I've ever dreamed of, on the Net.

And though she's living in a distant place,

I love her as I've loved no one before.

Will I ever get to touch her face,

Hold her in my arms and, perhaps, more?

Ay, me! No matter what, I'm still in love.

Through modems must our e-mailed passions move!
