Greener Pastures Poem by Belle Wassermeister

Greener Pastures

Rating: ★4.4


I don't believe that I will post
any more poems to this ghost
of the website it used to be.

When the old format got changed
the website execs were deranged
and ruined this site for me.

AllPoetry.com is my new home
and I've no further need to roam
or ever change my name.

It's not the same as it is here,
but I'll not change it; don't you fear;
hence it shall always be the same.

* * * * * * *

Note: I have opened up an account
on AllPoetry, com under a different
name.

So far I only have a handful of poems
posted there, but I plan to add more.

I will never change my name on
All Poetry the way I have done here
dozens of times.

Ready for a challenge? See if you can
find me there by identifying my
writing style and see what name
I am using.

I will probably log in here again
from time to time, but this website
is no longer fun like it used to be.

I love you, Poem Hunter friends!

I don't plan to open an account at any other poetry website, but I agree with you that this site is no longer fun like it used to be. They took away some of the best features, such as the 'previous poem' and 'next poem' buttons that were so useful!

A wonderful and talented Poetess like you will always be missed. I concur with the great comments of Poet Kim Barney. A poignant yet beautiful poem well crafted as always.

I like the rhyme pattern you have used in this poem. You have immense talent and will be missed if you no longer post here, but I cannot argue with you when you say that this website has undergone a huge change for the worse.
