A Crisis At Poetry Soup

A CRISIS AT POETRY SOUP

Poetry Soup what have you done and are doing to us all,
Sutting out your members with a server down wall,
I feel so isolated, cut off and not happy, just want to bawl
Please do your best, it has been a 24 hour haul!

Most of us addicted members to this poetry site,	
Have had to suffer this unexpected, insufferable blight,
For we are all in contact with one another daily,
Maybe not a black day, certainly looked at as unsavoury!

Could mention lots of names but there are many who dread, 
Another Black Sunday, might as well go back to bed,
Afraid of nightmares about losing my precious poetic work,
Many poets not contactable, is thers a virus that doth lurk?

My gut feel, is that the website will be over this crisis soon,
We hope that it won’t take longer than today, at noon,
So Poetry Soup do whatever you can, more than your best,
And put all your thousands of members minds at rest!

This was nerve racking and no way to communicate with anyone from our Poet Home. Glad you wrote a poem on this. Panagiota

It was the longest break down in communications since I joined Poetry Soup a year ago. Frustrations and irritations ran high! However, I luckily did not lose anything, hope you didn't either! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Oh it was a dark few days; we're all PS addicts, truly. Well penned. Now we're getting our fix again.

MLK - how did I miss one of your lovely comments, unforgivable - yes we are all addicts - nothing that will change for me in a hurry - guess I'm hooked! Take care my friend, Blessings, Jennifer.

Me too Darlene - we don't realize how close we have all become and how much we enjoy a common interest and communicating with each other. Blessings and hugs, Darlene, Jennifer.

It was terrifyingly shocking and scary for me; I wished I had read all my comments the day before it all happened, but I was too exhausted and did not. Which I now cannot regret. I must just assume they must have been wonderful. Smile.

I'm certain they were awesome - but maybe this has been a wake up call for all of us to back up, print or send to the cloud! Hugs, Jennifer

Thank-you for retrieving my comments Poetry Soup, appreciated, but my views on this poem are still 45 down. Regards, Jennifer.

Nicely done, Jennifer. I was not well enough to sit up for a few days, so have no idea what I have lost. I am so glad it is back today.

Well said Jennifer. This happens sometimes and no one likes it. Even I who am here again and gone again due to health problems don't like it much. God Bless my dear. JB

I think this happens to everyone, I was frustrated, our sever for our business was off for 24 hours last month, and I nearly climbed the wall as there were ugent messages and emails for appointments to be confirmed, my hands are tied though. Thank you for your visit - you brighten my morning when i open my computer and see your comment Nette Hug, Jennifer

I think that this poem speaks for the vast majority of us on Soup. It really is a mini-crisis. Perhaps I was lucky that I don't normally come online til very late Saturday evening (due to the Sabbath restrictions in place before then). :) gw

I wrote to Poetry Soup and they were very prompt with a report and apologies - it was a mini crisis, but all's well that ends well. Thanks for an apt comment, Hugs, Jennifer.

It is a lot of fun to read your apt poem...you express the feelings of many.. and in a way offer a tribute to this meeting place. Enjoyed the read, Jennifer.

Hi Tom, I saw your POTD - nice one, so seeing it for 3 days is actually great, no one would ever mind! We are going to have another 24 -48 shut down again - it never rains but it pours. Hugs, Jenny.
