Please don't be offended
About what I'm going to write
It's just something that I think about
When I'm on this poetry site
I really think you're marvellous
And friends of the pen for sure
But I'd never want to meet you all
In person on any shore
It's not because I dislike you
It's quite the opposite in fact
To me you're my poet family
On here I don't have to act
But I often wonder in our chats
Who you really are
When the words you've left here
Touch so deep
And tickle in my heart
What if my hopeful thoughts of you
Are nothing like you are?!
And my expectations
Are completely trashed
By your views of other stuff
And equally, I'd be horrified
If I didn't meet your standard
And we just sat together awkwardly
In uncomfortable, embarrassing silence
So please don't take offence at me
When I say to all of you
I hope to never meet in person
And I hope you feel it too
Because I like you all just as you are
You're the best of friends that's true
But I prefer you where you are right now
On my laptop in my front room

Good writing crow 🙂 and in some ways I agree . We can’t always get along with everyone and even online we might think we would want to meet them .. but if we did it might upset us or yeah thjngs might not go as expected
Hey VB. Just something light hearted today. But it is true. Expectation is the mother of all let downs!
It is and can be .))
So you don't want to meet me then!!! LOL.

But we could have food and drink together can't we? After some drinks some people get along very well together!
That works for me too. I'm just glad that we ARE all here. 😊
Very nice wording Crow. Whatever you say i enjoy the company of this site though I am not a regular
Literally couldn't be more precise, hehe. I do kinda enjoy that "mystery" of only being able to communicate virtually without any actual face-to-face confrontation. I mean I would enjoy like a little gathering or something but I do get where you're coming from. Sometimes our expectations are destroyed.
Intriguing write! We don't want our illusions shattered, on the other hand can't always help wondering. It is however, much easier to keep up the facade of brilliance under the cloak of anonymity. Really had fun with this one.
Well then that means you can just use your imaginative poetry mind to guess what we are all like. 🤔
