ReplyDeleteToo close for comfort!
ReplyDeleteNOOOOO. It Is bad now - don't want to see what's coming.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, this is great, Sam. I love your short, punchy lines, especially "aroma-thera-pedicure" and "eRich cash poor"!

I don't think you need the word "very." Everything else is so perfectly fine tuned and rhythmic and cyber, that I buy the piracy and maybe even the pirates.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like "very" is never really needed. Thanks Susan
DeleteI like the direction the prompt took you, I guess I've never looked at a stowaway as being sinister, but your poem has changed that. Thanks for posting to the out of standard!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou manage to say so much with few words. I really like this one.
ReplyDeleteA hard message written so poetically...digital pirates stealing who we are...
ReplyDeleteAh yes, the modern day real pirate! Well done.
ReplyDeleteOh well done - digital pirates everywhere...
