Find an internet meme of some sort. Either one you’ve participated in or one that is new to you. Once you find one that inspires you — yes, you have to leave the internets now and come back to poetry — use the language (lolspeak anyone?), the topic or even the general idea of viral transmissions to create a poem.
While I wanted to choose an LOL Catz or something along those lines, I just took the idea of the first "meme" I ever did - choose a friends name and write a line poem based on the letters.
The name repeats twice, as it seemed to call for it.
Can you tell?
Listen to your heart
You know the answer
Do I know it?
Exactly what I thought
Be strong I tell myself
All of her is you
Kissing through the day
Entering the night
Replying to her heart
Can I tell you?
Listen to my heart
You'll never know otherwise
Do you understand?
Exceptions to every rule
Be strong I tell myself
All of you is her too
Keeping this secret
Entering your heart
Replying to myself©2011
