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 01/25/22 The Long and Short by Lacy D Phillips Today I feel weightless, a new invention, my freshly-bobbed tresses tickling for attention. Every reflective surface affords an angle for admiration. I am pleased at what I see. You take me in with a greedy sweep of your eyes, brusk, but with something akin to tenderness. The soft kohl of your irises needy and pleading, Why not me? Why not me? I am sure you will someday regret this game of emotional roulette. You must be taught indifference. And I must be left. 04/21/2008 Visit Lacy D Phillips's Library The Long and Short Copyright © 2022
