Lost

At the computer
I decided to compose
The verse was quickly
And very accurately closed

When I pressed the
Submit tab the program
Back to login tab goes
My beautiful work going, going, goes

Tears, tears, tears flow


( I have learned this lesson several times and the poetry never ever comes 
exactly back to my mind ...it is lost forever in cyberspace floating around. I say 
over and over always write it down, write it down.)

Excellent... new trick: I have copy books and pens in every room now... so if a thought comes to me I don't have to run around or go up and down to my computer and desk area... good idea? luv.. and thankxxx ..

Yoni Dvorkis Date: 2/23/2010 11:07:00 AM I can relate. In my case the poem was alive and well until Poetry soup decided my language was too foul for their taste and deleted it forever and ever. I honestly can't remember more than a few scattered lines here and there. Definitely should back up your material on your hard drive. Login to Reply

Duke Beaufort Date: 2/23/2010 4:07:00 AM The software isn't perfect--its most human quality. You are very talented, and this is cute. Thanks for your comment, but sad for your loss. It is very difficult for me to compose long poems, so I try to be short and to the point. We are all so different in expression though similar at heart. The experience of life has much commonality. That is why I really love your work. Login to Reply
