Our misgivings manifest themselves if we dwell on them. Michelle

The angry voices, too-hoarse shouts,
A domino of hate?
Voices will be up too loud!"

Yet fate has tricks, my fret is minute
For as I laugh and scoff,
The newsfeed chimes, Facebook goes poof!
I'm forced to log off!

Ha! Good one Michelle!
Facebook is known to have a lot of clowns, lol. Loved your poem!
This is great - it’s important to unplug sometimes.
I always say to myself: Social media are not real life. Especially in crazy times like now. We all need to unplug and take a deep breath and reconnect with nature and real people in our real life. Great poem, Michelle.
lol, I've only logged into FB to check on ViM for the last couple of weeks.
Yep it happens that way sometimes. Like the things we worry about finds its way to just disappear. It happened to me today with a job hiring event. Hehe, still struggling with my fears. Anyway Excellent poem.
