I Surfed Cautious as a Cloud (inspired by William Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud")
Objective of the poem: The poem urges vigilance in the digital space, highlighting the need to recognize and dodge phishing threats while promoting awareness for secure online navigation.
“I surfed cautious as a cloud,
Amid the web, with cyber dangers shroud.
When all at once, a phishing email I found,
With fraudsters' tricks, their schemes unbound.
Beside the email, lies and deceit,
I spotted red flags, in my inbox's heat.
They tried to lure me, with tempting gain,
But I knew better, I felt no pain.
For I had learned the ways to stay secure,
In the digital world, where dangers occur.
With vigilance sharp and wisdom's grace,
I won't be caught in a fraudster's embrace.
So, surf wisely through the virtual crowd,
Aware of scams that speak too loud.
With fraud-awareness as my guide,
I'll navigate the web with stride.
