At times PH is plagued with problems
and new ones crop up everyday.
However, its appeal is irresistible
no matter what we say.
It gets to you at times when you log in
and it logs you out again.
You make a comment on a poem, post it
and when the page refreshes
the comment isn’t there.
You post it again and again
and the recipient of the comment
wonders why you posted it a half a dozen times.
Then there are the times when it just won’t let you in
and your frustration grows.
Each day is a new adventure
whenever we log in again and again and again.
If you ask the powers to be a question,
it is months before you get a reply.
You say that you are going to leave,
but the draw is irresistible
and therefore instead of saying goodbye
you should be saying is see you later
when I can log in.
We must love the frustration that this site brings
and one day hope the powers to be
might eventually get it right.
Indeed David this is truly a problem at PH these days, but as you say we are all so hooked on to it that we return to site no matter what...it feels like home...Nice write
A clever and brave piece my friend. It is indeed fraught with difficulties, and I have fallen in many a pitfall. Never the less, its magnetic pull always seems to draw us back. Best Regards Steve
Ah yes, David, everything you say is true. But, even though I would like it to run smoothly and add pictures etc. to my poems, I like it best. '10! ' my friend for your honest words! Warm Wishes, Marilyn
With all its problems, poemhunter has all the best features of the most worthwhile poetry sites. There's just nothing else with this much. Every day I noticed glitches here; but also every day I notice some new bit of genius I never paid attention to before. If somebody suggests a fix for a poem in their comment, by clicking on the name of the poem, there it is in a field all ready to be altered with a single click. I defy anyone to find that feature anywhere else..(smile)
Hello David, timely reference - poem... And our friends write below perfectly...10... Tsira
i guess we are im still having problems but im here lol good write
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
And sometimes it takes FOREVER to change pages! I could go out to dinner while I'm waiting - lol! But, I have checked out other sites, and they just don't have the same 'comfortable' feeling as PH, perhaps because I've been here so long it feels like home. Amazing how a little frustration can inspire a poem, right? Well done! Linda :)
