Internet dating


You swipe left,

You swipe right.,

Hoping to meet someone soon,

Maybe tonight.

 

Fit birds here,

Handsome blokes, coor too right.

Distance set, filters on,

Few matches already, ariiiight.

 

Meeting set, date is on,

Does my dress look too tight?

Get to pub, oddly still texting moments before meeting,

Awkward smiles, fingers crossed tonight.

 

One night stands,

Talks of love,

Varied people on there,

Think I just might.. . . . . . . 

 

Cat fish pic's,

Who are you kidding,

Your not like your profile,

I'm going home, this is shite.

 

Wanting perfection,  doesn't exist,

People's tolerance very low,

Conflicting emotions, Learn to compromise,

Massive culture shift, what a site. 

 

Mates call to go out, decide to stay in,

Get home pissed off, wanna meet someone new,

Start swiping left,

Swiping right

Like a lot of us been through shitty parts in my life. In 2018 I was living in London, attending a part time acting school. It was a great time. Also I was presenting at an event, one of the tutors at the acting school took me under his wing and mentored me. Part of that process he taught me how to write poetry, or at least express myself through it. Now, I write a poem every day, I write for a hobby. I've had a varied career, the only thing I can say is writing is the best things I've ever done. I absolutely love it. Have got 14 publications on a short story website and launching my own website in December 2022, http://www.PeterGreenhall.com Feel free to add any comments. I hope you enjoy reading my poems as much as I enjoyed putting them together.
