Unsupported Code

UNSUPPORTED CODE 

In haste I discover
with fingers quite fast
My words now uncover
some dreams of the past

When thoughts find me stating
and ink it does flow
I post; then sit waiting,
so little I know

As some stop by reading,
then leave with a grin
I find myself pleading
“Oh not this again”

A friend now relaying
corrections to make
My poems’ displaying
a stupid mistake

I open my writing
it’s then that I see
My tongue I am biting
“Damn, how can this be”

It seems in my rushing
to post a new ode
I find as I’m blushing
Unsupported code


I posted my good morning poem this morning and once again didn't check it afterward and managed to post it with a wrong symbol so "UNSUPPORTED CODE" started off the poem. I was notified of the error. Thanks so much Darren for the heads up

Hahaha! This one is fun! I love to read your odes Chris - each and every one :) Of course, that is if the code allows...

I know it does. I posted a poem one night before I left the office that I had placed a bad code on and didn't realize until the next morning that the code had blanked out all of the poem but the title. That was embarrassing. Thanks so much Nette.

Hahaha, UNSUPPORTED CODE brought me a strange sort of ode ;) This code is a constant source of fun (NOT). But the poem looks great now my friend :)

Thanks again my friend. I might not have looked back in on that poem for a while, that would have been really embarrassing. :)

I believe its the computer or site this morning as I've had trouble logging on or even checking new entries or posting. Nothing was working. Those darn codes and system are at work once again.

In this case it was internal...a mistake on my part. I am having problems logging into my brain. Thanks for reading and commenting.

Thanks so much my sweet friend. It is embarrassing, at least to me, when it happens. I need to check my poems after posting them. I'm glad you stopped by this morning.
