Blake As I write this, I don't actually know if it will post successfully. Let's see. Sorry to report that the owner of this website has abandoned it. We owe him eternal gratitude for all the work that went into building it in the first place, and for continuing to foot the bill that keeps it online at all. That said: we apologize for the bugs, but there's nothing we can do to fix them. CURRENT MEMBERS: Keep steady backups of your poetry. And everything else--that's just practical advice for a digital world. In case you didn't realize, private messaging does not work. Your messages are not reaching their recipients. The moderators can pick poems of the day. That's about it for our powers. APPLICANTS: I am sorry. Site errors will prevent me from making you a member. I promise that we'd have welcomed you to this community if we could. -- I guess that's it. Hope you're having a good day. The Pathetic Book of Poetry - 04/08/2014 by V. Blake Our very own Jody Pratt was cool enough to put together a book of poetry using submissions from Pathetic members. Read more about it in the forums--you can even just click this link if you're feeling lazy, so no excuses. Thanks go out to Jody for his efforts and to everyone who submitted their work to make it possible. Go get yourself a copy!

Poem of the Day for 07/15/18 Cement by Cole Bradburn Alone in a lie Confused in a moment Passed in the time of your youth disregarded Lost in this place Trapped in its pavement No turning back as your bound to its path I am not feeling, not living, not breathing Yet I am here not knowing, not thinking Happening so sharply, yet so very slow Leaving me behind though I can’t let it go Its my time to Realize that Its not me That I see Something so different, so changing, so wrong Yet I can’t deny it, Becoming so thorough, so undisturbed Lost in its void, I am transformed 12/21/2004 Visit Cole Bradburn's Library Cement Copyright © 2018
