A Letter To The Fellow Poets Of Poemhunter

Rating: 5.0


Dear Fellow Poets of PoemHunter,
Belated Greetings of the New Year!
You know, at the fag end of the last year,
PoemHunter suddenly began to appear
In a new outfit, difficult to recognise,
That took me for a while by utter surprise.

Dear poets, since then I am out of pace with you,
As I really couldn't adjust well with this new
Format, frame and layout of the website
Causing my fruits of labour to suffer blight.
I cannot read your poems, nor can myself post one,
Thus I am bereft of your company and I miss the fun.

I am aware that many of you have adjusted well,
When I too can do that, I simply cannot tell.
I've been reading your works for the last eight years
Sometimes sharing mine too, defeating my fears.
In you I have found many compassionate friends,
Who I'll never meet, but cherish till my life ends.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
In the last quarter of the last year, I regularly read and commented on a large number of poems. I am sad now, as I couldn't get myself familiar and comfortable with the new system. I miss my poet friends dearly, with whom I developed a close virtual bond.

You have spoken for us PoemHunters. I too miss the old PoemHunter version which had many amazing featuresParticularly it was so easy to connect with other poets and their poems so easily.

I agree with you, everyone I've talked to on this site is extremely discouraged and I know of two of my friends here and also myself are looking for a different poetry site, it's just a shame

I totally agree, what a terrible mistake, I have been looking for another poetry site as this one has become unbearable

Old Poem Hunter was gold one. New Pome Hunter is accepted. We get your message. This makes us very emotional. We do not know when again old days will come back. But still we smile at new moment.

It's not so bad. You will manage to operate the new PH! Every new start has difficulties as we say in Greece.

The loud advertisements are still lingering but fortunately all of the bickering has now stopped. Just give a little more time.
