I blog when I can . . .
there's an app for that,
finding memes.
I 'll twitter,
once I find my hash tag.
Internet's crazy
spammin' me,
sending me malware
like some mere cat
with nothing to do.
Hook me up, wi-fi.
What would I do
without you?

| A Mere Cat Meme (Funny Animal Memes) |
Today's poetry prompt from OctPoWriMo suggests having fun with one letter to see what words come into play, poetic forms. I've long loved words and read dictionaries for fun. A new word I can't quite define is meme. Online a meme is some cultural item repeatedly transmitted. Could be animal cartoons. Could be a list of questions you answer on your blog and then repost the questions to a few of your online friends.
For me, blogging was a way to connect with family and friends when I was traveling. Boy, that's changed. How about you? Have you ever played with a meme?
Fun to see these internet words wrapped up in a neat little poem, Beth. Thank you.

Clever use of the local language of the internet, Beth. I loved the use of merecats to illustrate your point... great image. I love merecats. :) That picture made me giggle to. X
ReplyDeleteThank you, Annis and Shah. It's pretty amazing how technology changes our language (and our lives) so gradually we don't quite realize the extent of the change.
