April PAD Challenge - Sestina
From night to day, she read his verse
Loved random stranger on network site
His chats was long and full of heat
She glowed from warmth, basked in joy
Even crept closer to his emotional bytes
Across thousand miles, she found a friend
Soon, born was the desire to meet this friend
For a book launch, invited he, to hear his verse
She had cherished his poems on bytes
Excitedly, she invited her offline friends on site
To meet this stranger and share her joy
Whom she never truly knew but felt the heat
In the middle of the afternoon, in scotching heat
They set out to meet her online friend
Famous and popular was he, they felt the joy
At hearing him on live, as he read his verse
He basked in fame, waved at crowd at the site
But expressions were unreal, so were his sound bytes
He was indifferent, not so warm like on bytes
His tone was cold, in his words, no heat
Stood nervously, unsure of herself at the site
Failed he to acknowledge her as a friend
Even though she recited, over and over, all his verse
He stared at her, his face devoid of joy
Rejected, lonely she felt no joy
Saw the caravan of lies under the cloud of bytes
Was that just random chats of unstring verse
Carelessly marching thoughts without any heat
No way was this expected of a friend
Whom she had loved each day on twitter site
She un-friended him from social site
In offline real friend she found more joy
Whom she met, touched, he was true friend
In virtual world, there are just bytes
In real world, there is much warmth and heat
Life is smooth with pleasant verse
Search no friend on network sites
In emotional verse there be some joy
But on virtual bytes there breeds no heat.
