Who's In Charge

Who's in charge here?

Can't they hear us?

No ear, perhaps!
 


*Inspired by technical difficulties on the Soup and written for Dr. Ram's Than-Bauk contest.

dang, I can't find a way to soupmail you. Linda wanted me to tell you that you need to call your haiku a haiku instead of senryu for her contest before she judges and she said she couldn't soupmail you. I can't either. so I am coming here to let you know. Well, whatever you labeled yours, it has to be the other way. Haiku or senryu, I forgot which. Have to be in class now!!! Luv, andrea

A fine entry for the contest Carolyn. I know what you mean. Sometimes it's like we're all alone. ;) I'd sure like to know why the site keeps crashing on me. Good job. God BVless, JB

Sometimes I wonder if they want to hear us Carolyn. Granted, on this occasion, they have had their hands full. I still struggle at times to get on. I think they need a little bedding time to settle on the servers, and eradicate all the problems the hacker caused. Good luck in Dr. Rams contest, hugs 4 U :)

I wonder if the Soup maintainance crew will get the message. I finally had time to write Friday night and couldn't even get on the site until today. Very good poem and good luck in the contest.

Well you did this right and right up to date on the content. I couldn't quite understand his sample poem so haven't done it yet. And of course I could not get on all day. Thanks for your nice comments. Love, Joyce
