renewed in the springs of March
my new avatar
is but a shadow of my previous one
I prefer it this way
a plastic smile
doesn't fail me
mechanical motion
is good for the soul
real and virtual merge at a point
I grin at the nonsensical things
somewhere in the falsified life
I feel a tremulous breeze blowing
which wraps around me
engulfs this avatar, strips it bare
leaves me with the older version
I fall in love with myself yet again
Isn't March great to be a birth month?

No, it isn't. Everybody thinks this way, but it is wrong. So keep on fighting, sisters.
Best wishes

When I come back - and I will - nothing changes!
yep...enjoyed my read
Well, March is my birth month, too.
Avatars seem to be like fractured personalities, almost caricatures, masks available for dressing and undressing!
Clever girl you are.
Yes yes indeed, Happy Birthday sweet poet :) xxx
mine's in April lol
When the persona falls away, there we are again. Though that mask can provide a welcome and needed barrier from all that is out there.
layers upon layers...
March carries so many analogies for rebirth. I think you're right.
Gets awfully cold when you're naked though, doesn't it?
An interesting look at the levels of life. Enjoyed it!
Excellent! Perhaps I should have been born on March!
Mad as a March Hare!
Nicely!!

Lovely -- a penetrating examination of life's layers.
Your mind and writing ability are wondrous things. You always leave me thinking...I like that...

Sounds like a great cleansing ritual, thanks for the poem.
no.. september is great to be a birth month..;)
I guess we're all eventually stripped bear, leaving ourselves with our "real" selves. Good to love what we have.
a really lovely March indeed!
ah to be in love....
yes a wonderful birth month
and poem as well~
Happy Birthday! March is the month with the most birthdays in our family, so it must be a good month. I enjoyed your poem.
Being reborn instead of another year older--great way to look at it.
Everyone of us wishes a beautiful avatar...:)
Inspiring thoughts!
i like the idea of rebirth... a thousand times if so...
March is returning. Beautiful.
Beyond the movie, I am not sure what the avatar really is. Ego, self, or alter ego? How does (or could) it change over time? Maybe it is just an idealized version of who we might be or maybe we just need entertainment. Your work invokes more thoughts for me.
