Hiding in pixels
Movies mirroring life’s mess
Seeing self on-screen
Living blind in reverse mode
Hurting is not virtual
I joined Writing 201: Poetry. This is my first assignment.
Poetry with the word “Screen.” The poetic form is haiku and the poetic device is alliteration. We could also combine haiku with tanka, which follows a 5-7-5-7-7 syllabic pattern.
Bear with me, I am no poet. I intend to have fun, and learn about poetry, without losing my followers along the way. 😉

You really went all out. I’m going to learn so much.
