Missing

• Artist: druindo
• Description: I once wrote a poem about a girl I liked, but I can no longer find it, despite the fact that I posted it on a website and was given honorary mention in the contest. This poem is a reflection on what can be so easily lost in our society. And yes, I wrote this in a couple of minutes, just letting it flow.

You write a draft,
check it well,
finish the work,
your feelings you tell.

You type a draft,
you hit spellcheck,
save it to disk,
your emotions a wreck.

You get a stamp
and envelope,
address the work,
and send it with your hope.

You open a site
and find "Submissions,"
you enter your info,
and post it for millions.

A year goes by,
and you come to find,
a letter for you,
it's far too kind.

A year goes by,
and you come to find,
that what you made,
is gone, from paper, heart and mind.

We fly forward,
we don't look back,
our world dies and gives birth,
so much we can't track.

Should we truly invest our hearts,
in something so fragile, so complex?
Should we keep our hearts, our minds,
closer to us, instead of on internet wrecks?

This is very good but the last two verses don't seem to have anything to do with the poem.
