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 08/13/22 night of the decoy poem by Elizabeth Jill Ancient threads torn shreds worn tunic-like. Horse? a bicycle armored rust sturdy not shiny eyes meet mine. He is meeting the ocean, I am meeting the pavement now crashing on the sand. Books about polite ticks, I humorize. He flips through the pages / a deck of cards then picks them up as if they are bricks carries them alongside his horse. A blockwalk later high tide reaches my mind I look back and notice the knight has left bricks stacked neatly mortared with the undertow now crashing on the sand. 04/30/2006 Visit Elizabeth Jill's Library night of the decoy poem Copyright © 2022
