The Virtual Friends! Comments

After all it was a virtual world That has to fade in the test of time Relationships held at the tips of the finger Easy to make and easy to break With a click of a button.

Let me quote from this beautiful poem: -'Now I search the streets of pain For those lost soul-mates As I try and find The footprints of my friends A sudden realisation dawned After all it was a virtual world

So beautiful poem! The emotions of pain and pleasure shared with close friends so nicely described.The social media platform gives us easy access for connecting with faraway people and bonding with them.But the pain of losing them is as real as losing our friends of personal contacts.

Now I search the streets of pain For those lost soul-mates As I try and find The footprints of my friends.....great quest!

This poem has gone into MyPoemList. I just forgot to mention the graphic appearing with the poem. No doubt that this looks paradoxical at first sight but the two parts can very well be related to the two sections of the poem though not exactly in the same manner. A serious student of poetry can learn a lot from this creative page.

(2) ....because it talks about 'That strong soul connection.... The connectivity.... The understanding'. The theme takes a diversion in the second part which bears the brunt of the current network or the cobweb of online relationships which are devoid of commitment, cordiality and, of course, longevity.. Extremely thought provoking. Thanks.

The advantage of being late on a poetry page is that you get to know the feedback given by other distinguished readers. True to their views, I too find this poem reflecting the reality of present times. But no, you are not talking about the virtual world as far as the first part of the poem is concerned....

That's a very good topic you have written on. In today's technical n mechanical world, relationships are fragile. Just like computers, relationships are also programmed. Feelings n emotions hardly play a role. A very thoughtful write.10

Now relationships are formed with the click of a button. We live in a virtual world with virtual realities which are as transient as the scenes and sights that flash on a computer screen or on a TV. The beauty of stable friendships and relationships are stories of the past when a man felt the pain and joy of another as his own and ran to his neighbour or his friend to extend a helping hand in his need! Aarzoo, you have beautifully portrayed the loss of warmth and sanctity of our relationships in this internet age!

O dear friend you penned nicely a very important sebject in our new world of relationship. You are right. Now it is...Easy to make and easy to break with a click of a button. Thank you for sharing your poem.

Connection! But, still with memories. Nice work.

foorprint of friends, I find here.. very fine..

Very true, we are witness to these changes which our next generation might not know and the same applies to a generation before us.....Gone are those days when it was easy to find a shoulder to rest and cry, share the joy and go for picnic and outing and spend quality time pulling each other's leg.....Now everything is through social media only, emotions are shared online (Smiles) ............Life moved beyond meeting of eyes, hands and gentle touch and you rightly pointed with a click of button
