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! New Server - 08/03/2013 by Gavin M Roy The site has been moved to a new server which should address the ongoing login issues for the past week or so. Older News

Poem of the Day for 10/19/18 Robot Dreams by Joseff Marat shaded with black and accented with scarlett the tin-like taste of soul in my throat and oval shapes of heaven spattered with the sacred rain of life I draw my finger over soft, supple flesh and fall forever into the sky I reach out for infinate last fragments of organic pleasure and am met with false tones of dream photographing giant monarchs shooting forgotten enemies the vessels burst and free my mind like the openness of space where my fiber optic hairs look like stars where a dot on my brain is the sun and planets revolve around the frontal lobe the moon is your forehead your body the Earth through ions of time I've searched and found you. 09/27/2005 Visit Joseff Marat's Library Robot Dreams Copyright © 2018
