Poetic Thursday: Real Or Fake

Not only is today Thanksgiving, but it’s also Poetic Thursday.  We’re joining our dear friend, Pam, (we’re so thankful for her friendship!) and her kitties, Teddy and Angel Sammy, over at Two Spoiled Cats, for a little poetry.

This is the photo they gave us for our inspiration.

And here is my poem:

Real or Fake

Yes, I did a double-take:
disappointed to learn that it is fake.

Just who is the responsible one
that has fooled us and spoiled our fun?

No more wondering how we’d get to the top,
when you learn that this is just photo-shopped!

It took me quite a bit of Google research to learn that this isn’t a real place (although it is beautiful!).  The actual location is “James Bond Island” in Khao Phing Kan in Thailand.  And a portion of Lichtenstein Castle in Germany has been super-imposed on top.

I must remember to be skeptical of everything I see on the internet these days. Between AI and photo editing, it’s so easy to be duped.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
