SAMPLE POEMS:
Five Thousand Friends
NEW! Here’s Heather reading “Five Thousand Friends”
Just six clicks away
from five thousand “friends.”
No clue what today is,
or what’s on CNN.
I should really get dressed,
Or at least shave my pits.
But with all these new friends,
I can’t stop the clicks.
Glued to the screen
like some kind of affliction.
Welcome to Facebook:
the world’s
latest addiction.
Lolita
Her name is Lolita.
She’s got Double D’s.
She’s bold and she’s beautiful;
She’s eager to please.
She’s got five hundred friends;
She’s charming and wise.
They flock to her photos;
She’s so easy on the eyes.
Oh so lovely, dark, mysterious.
But that’s not just a fake tan.
That’s one fake old photograph.
That’s one smart old man.

Hey Heather,
So nice to find a kindred spirit at last! 🙂 I relate to your FB poems. This year alone, I activated and de-activated my FB profile many times….I began to call it “CRACKBOOK” in the end. Ugh! Am feeling much better the past couple of months being off it but sometimes I am so tempted to re-activate, just to see what my “friends” are up to!
Okay, I go now to peruse the rest of your amazing blog!
MUAH!

Hello dear Heather,
Lolita’s returned,
As without an alias,
Advances all spurned.
No lighthearted banter,
Or pics of soft porn,
No suggestive comments,
To give me the horn.
It’s sad and it’s lonely,
If no one replies,
So is it a wonder,
I choose a disguise,
To raise my esteem?
And only to flirt?
If no one’s the wiser,
And no one gets hurt?
In truth though it’s sad,
If I have to rely,
On an oversized bossom,
To get a reply.
So reality beckons,
Back to the man,
With skin rough as sand,
And a lily white tan.
Cos friends here on Facebook,
Are plenty, not few,
Good friends. Not strangers,
And one of them’s you.
I’m happy, entangled,
And although we’ve not met,
I’m glad I’m caught up,
In your butterfly net.
🙂

Hello dear Heather,
Lolita here.
My double D’S missing.
No sticking out rear.
No eyes you would swim in.
My tan lily white.
An expanding waistline,
Means trousers too tight.
Charming, I think not.
Skin rough as sand.
And friends here on Facebook,
I count on one hand
Smart then? Well maybe,
As one thing is true,
Following butterflies,
Led me to you.
