| Posted by Kristine Briese on 09/30/11 at 01:01 PM Twisted is the word, all right. A very accurate commentary on a national craze, made personal. |
| Posted by George Hoerner on 09/30/11 at 01:02 PM I think that for some the 'social networks' are just a place to emote and tell everyone that they have a life. Nice write Ken. |
| Posted by Elizabeth Jill on 09/30/11 at 01:18 PM Especially verses 4 and 5 -> my head nodding in so many yeses, as I reach around the for another hit of idealism... |
| Posted by Charlie Morgan on 09/30/11 at 02:16 PM ...ken, gooooood write, meboy! i so-love your title and the way you wrote this one...alawys glad to see your "twisted" ways of writing... |
| Posted by Joan Serratelli on 09/30/11 at 05:51 PM i could not agree more. Social networking is getting way out of control. I found out my kid got married over coffee one morning. People will (and do) post totally inappropiate,personal tidbits of information. It's ....
YOU NAILED IT! |
| Posted by Mo Couts on 09/30/11 at 06:53 PM You hit the nail RIGHT ON THE HEAD! You're so very right about all of these things. Even as a young person I find that social networking is much more open than I'd prefer. |
| Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 09/30/11 at 10:28 PM I'm definitely feeling this way about love these days. Brutal and brilliant. |

| Posted by Laura Doom on 10/01/11 at 11:12 AM I'm sure she'll derive gratification from having inspired this paragon of ex-positions. I guess twisted is the new mundane, while this undoubtedly qualifies as a true classic... |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 10/01/11 at 02:59 PM Loved those last two stanzas. |
| Posted by Amy Manning on 10/04/11 at 12:18 PM You've managed to convey your voice very well. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 10/07/11 at 03:22 PM Another jem of poetic expression, Ken, dealing with a very simple and yet complex subject. Excellent title, love how the text and substance builds to it and that unforgettable last line. |
| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 10/09/11 at 03:21 AM It can be rather disconcerting to find the intimate bits aired in a public/social forum. Thanks to the Internet Gods for making the entire world a smaller place to vent? It is amazing, how much more I seem to know about my children and various other relatives, along with folks whose goings-on I'd rather not be witness to. Well said, Ken. |
| Posted by Shannon McEwen on 10/09/11 at 05:26 AM I really like this, the truth of it. Social networks have opened us up to a whole new view into people we don't always want to know that much about! |
