Well said, Ken, and true. I'm grateful to be a part of PoetBay and some other places I visit because I have met wonderful people I'll almost certainly never be able to visit.

On the other hand, some parts of cyberworld, Facebook and Twitter, make me claustrophobic, as if I'd been jammed into a room full the sort of people I try hard to avoid in real life.

There is no doubt that the cyber world is everything you said (so eloquently) and more. How else would I have ever read the words of poet named Ken, or you the words of poet named jim?

The negatives and positives of the cyber world are well known, subtle, obvious, and it is here to stay (until the next technology arrives). For all of its benefits what saddens me about it more than anything is that it has led to the demise of the letter—the written letter that comes by mail or post in a stamped envelope, which comes at a snail's pace, and the anticipation which that waiting induces.

A poem of understanding and perspective. This is a very astute write. Thankyou for sharing, Ken. *applaud*

Incredible.

They may not like it, but what can they do, ban it!?... Probably, actually...

There are some bad places on the net - When I started browsing I thought the worst places were chat rooms, and we hear so many reports of p0rn and predators.. But nowadays there seems to be no greater evil than 'Social Media' .. Hatred and mediocrity abound.

The positives I have found by careful selection far outweigh any negative influence, many, many times over.

The Bay is such a sanctuary for talented and creative people.

Wrapping around an injured spirit...'

Like you, Our Ken !
