Everything is Broken - 02/06/2018 by V. 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. Older News

Poem of the Day for 10/27/21 blink. blink. by Anastasia Selby Today was quiet and I was quiet. The grackles weighed down the branches of the trees with their long tails and oval bodies, they flew across the Wal-Mart parking lot and settled on the various SUV's, pooping on them, unselfconsciously. The sound of them reminds me of so many things I haven't even had the chance to ruminate on, I can feel the memories forming with each movement of my eyes, sweep across the concrete, sweep across the sky. 10/23/2008 Visit Anastasia Selby's Library blink. blink.
