What if you log off
Go out, touch the grass, and find
It's artificial?

In The Blink of Her Eye
Time itself bent and morphed, allowing Shannon the precious seconds needed to see and adjust to the disaster unfolding in front of her. Each frame showed minute details she would have missed had the clock not slowed down until she heard every click of the hands as they swept toward the end of everything. If only she was being melodramatic...

Oh, I like the implications here!
Congrats on Top Story!
I'm still wondering what I would do. Congratulations on top story!
So the grass they use to place on fields in tufts is real. I thought it was fake. Or maybe it is real fake grass. I would certainly panic if my love of nature turns out to be fake. Logging off means getting real. I sure would panic.
I'd try 2 wake myself up! lol Great job! This piece made me think!!!
So true, not sure if you meant it but logged off = double meaning. Logged off computer got back to reality find it’s changed Logged off all the trees on the world til nothing remains but artificial turf Any way that’s my take, Congratulations
Then I have to say that You're on turf. A real grass and dirt football field will have a football coach panic if You pluck the wrong piece of greenery. "MY FAVORITE BLADE OF GRASS! 😧😨😱"
Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
No. Don't even want to think about it.
Yay, congrats on Top Story!
Oof. I think I would immediately lose my mind. Great haiku and great question!
I'd be like "Cool. When did that happen?" And then log back in hehehe. Loved your poem!
That would be some kind of nightmare. I think I would go crazy and then try, even in vain, to find out what the hell was going on! Loved this piece! Always making us think in such a small number of words! :)
I would blame it on the Matrix! Or better yet, A.I. in the matrix. lol. Outside of that, I would search and search for the real stuff, just to lay in it once more. Loved your Haiku!
OMG - that would be horrible! Very clever.
Oh wild flowers! I miss you!
No more wild flowers then ☹️
I'd be heartbroken. Nature is my lifeblood. I can't imagine a world without its beauty.
