An Ode to the Comment Bots

in #poetry7 years ago

We saw a light in the east, after dusk,
a star that hung in the sky,
and which did not rise with the evening:

The pieces of my shattered attention
fall with a bright dying flare
below the horizon, a memory

Both insubstantial and untrustworthy:
did we really see that light,
an ascending star of possibility?

Words are written and the comment posted,
the poem coalesces,
another genteel howl in the darkness.

Beautiful landscape @richardjuckes

...kidding...

That is an interesting poem and a deep look at the tragedy that is the comment bot.

Thank you. It's difficult to understand their motivation.

I think you're the first to make poems for it-)
but your poem is much deeper than it.
It's a pity there're so much gabage in Steemit.
Poeple try to make robots for frirendship... Darkness.
