MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Writers Beware!’

touch of sadness
what a madness
gullible no brain
let me explain

got a surprise email
written with all the detail
‘we will feature your book’
swallowed with a hook

her pen name Sherry
sounded bit too merry
writing style really kind
to influence weak mind

sweetness builds connection
on a closer inspection
concealed until the very last
send me your money fast

bank account of a dark name
to get the scammer now my game
the face behind the bank details
i pray their scheme soon fails

the story doesn’t end
Sherry is now my friend
the real Sherry I found
the scammer is still around

pretender behind a real face
on fraud report i made a case
warning to all you guys
beware of sweet AI lies
