Virtuālis
by Cher Corbin
A modern day love story that surely challenges the perception of adult
relationships – two people from completely different walks of life connect.
Rosalie
A single mother, Rosalie was recently laid-off from her job and needed
to find some source of income. Her first love, writing, quickly became a
focal point for her and on the advice of her thirteen year old daughter
she joined the Artista Network and entered the Poets’ Rendezvous.
With much hesitation, she posted a poem and waited. What she found in
her inbox was totally unexpected.
DeCarlo
A professor of Black American Literature had recently lost his only son
in a tragic biking accident. He buried himself in his work and his research for his new book. He had been advised, by his students no less,
to troll the social media, especially Artista Network and get a feel for
the many poetry groups and their activities. He signed into the first poetry group he came upon – The Poets’ Rendezvous, what he found there
would prove to send him off kilter for quite some time.
Virtuālis is a journey of two souls, a cry for solace and love; a conversation of the heart which is freely expressed and interestingly painted with
the poetic words of two artists.
“And what would the world say when they see it?”
“What could they say but – Romeo and Juliet.”
“But you do know that they both died in the end?”
