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 07/17/19
Altered tastes
by Laura Doom
I have a dread, fessed and fed
by a willfully misquoted theme
La Scala's immoderated medium
ravaged by a law of averages
that renders the ordinary
meaningfully mean, a clean machine
giving headlines a hard rhyme
taking ridicule to the sublime.
Drive-by time
on the scenic route
of all that is vile
in the videophile
like low-risk roads
stretching back
to a new status quo;
designer sex and cyber drugs
and fifty shades of grime.
To love or hate the haters
deals a triumph to the gladiators
music to the masturbators
orchestrating automation
of quasi-intelligent classification;
faction as a vulgar fraction
fiction as a source of friction
that looms beyond divisible gloom
as the elegant sycophant in the room. 03/30/2017 Visit Laura Doom's Library
