Preservation Of Poetry. Poem by Roxanne Dubarry

How many of you remember the site of Helium?
I failed to preserve all my hard work,
And I am feeling like a jerk.
When they went out of business,
I was not aware of the fact.

Their poets and writers would work
for mere peanuts from Paypal.
They were expecting not only
more professional work, but
also endless hours of research.

It proved to be too much to accomplish
not only for me but apparently for
others on Helium's site as well.
All of them have their own stories to tell.

They did desire to transform amateur writers
into professional ones. Hopefully, it was true,
but then again we will never know.
When Helium closed its online doors,
it took with its secrets as well.
