Backdrop set
strike a pose
Take selfie
Enjoy lot.
A pic here,
a pic there
to capture
nature's grounds.
Explore round
hear the sounds
and soak in
the earth's founds.
But authentic
looks are lost
behind the
filter's trap.
Comments as
Echo flowed
Just don't get
too absorbed.
That my friend
is Modern
narcissism,
(or) self-explore?

This poem is not meant as criticism or anything. Selfie is fun, documenting life events and such. But there is a dark side to it too when one becomes self obsessed with presenting the best side of their looks, valuing other's comments more than themselves.
Also note that each line has 3 syllables.
This style is called 'Tri-Dodeca' created by @BillTemple1957.
There are 12 lines in total with:
3 stanzas of 4 lines each
3 syllables per line
No rhyming scheme
In my poem, I extended past the 12 lines but maintained the structure of the style. Kind of like Double Tri-Dodeca.
