K is for KARMA in an Electronic Age #AtoZChallenge

April #AtoZChallenge and #PoetryMonth
 
Three goals I had in mind while writing my collection of linked poetry:
1. To celebrate my appreciation of life
2. To experience the process of writing linked poetry, a form of Japanese renshi
3. To give thanks for and better appreciate a life well-lived.
 
The flowers are a colorful bonus for the #AtoZChallenge

 K is for Karma and Kobus Magnolia  
 


KARMA

Letters, addressed
Stamped and postmarked
Mailed
Delivered
Read 
 

Telegrams, then air mail
Telephones and texting
Computers and skype 
 

Instant contact through
Email smiley faces
Facebook games
Twitter characters
 

News first hand
Almost before it occurs
Births
Marriages
Careers
Instant karma in an electronic age
 

Where will the world be
When the lights go out?

With everything at our fingertips and our patience at an end, it is difficult to imagine if technology has us racing on a treadmill chasing the carrot or if it is technology racing to keep up with our imaginations.
