A Test

by JJ Johnson

This is a test

This poet is conducting a test of the pathetic Add a Poem function
Please stand by
This is only a test
For the next 60 seconds
Your regular poetry programming will be interrupted
The admins of this site
In voluntary cooperation with the GabbinÂ’ authority
Have developed this system
To keep you posting in the event of a poetic inspiration
If this had been an actual poetry addition
The Green Attention Arrow --> you just saw
Would have been followed by an official poem
Which you would be reading now
With options to rate and post comments on the creation
This community, known as Pathetic Poets Society
Serves the entire international poetry community
Thank you for your patience
This concludes this test of the Pathetic Add a Poem function
We now return you to your regularly scheduled poetry reading

Author's Note: Gavin had just updated the Add A Poem funtion and I happened to be on the site when he did. He sent me a message asking me to test it out, so I wrote this. It was a little bit shorter when I initially wrote it, as I couldn't remember how the old Emergency Broadcast message was exactly. So I looked it up on-line and filled it out to it's current length. It was a fun write, as I was really just goofing around and trying to come up with something fast to post. http://astore.amazon.com/seedsandweeds-20

Joy! I admire this goofing around you did.
I've read some things in the General forum you posted about poetry ~ that has drawn me immediately to your library. Having read your library introduction, I am looking forward to diving in. I feel as if your philosophy and expression has already calmed and lifted me this morning. (Enclosed is a warm smile) ~ Jill
