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 09/21/18 Plain Parents by Johnny Crimson Rare pageants are a pittance like a placid admittance of painstaking peculiarity, they're probably pissed. Pool waters make pagans swim propped up and prim like police paying pool men for proper petty advice. Pink parents mink parents and rambling sane parents, are no substitute for perfectly plain parents. 07/13/2018 Visit Johnny Crimson's Library Plain Parents Copyright © 2018
