Writers Cafe....SOS

...message in a bottle...

~~~

If you read this...

we are lost,

floating at sea.

There's no one to help,

no shore to wash up on.

We see others

but we're unable to make contact.

If you read this

we're searching.

We've fallen from a ship once so sturdy,

but now floundering.

Our words,

are the only things keeping us afloat.

The sails are in tatters.

If you read this,

SOS

send help...

some of us are barely hanging on.

Author's Note

This used to be a great site.

Used to be is correct. Now I think most would if it were a family pet, take it for its last ride to the V-E-T and put it to sleepy byes.
If it isnt people called Lauren who just happens to catch your new write and would love to talk about it on another site (because she's obviously a speed reader and sends these messages about 5 per minute, then its graphic artists who want to sell you their wares, despite being so painfully shy that they don't show what their wares are.
Oh and did I mention I got logged out of this very write and could only access it by typing its title into the bit at the end of the writing page?
And thats not even counting the many many many many many etc mental patients that now consider this site part of their care in the community!
Why cant everyone be as reasonable as me Relic? I mean okay, I blocked a lot of people, but only because they offended me in some made up way or other, that they can only guess at because there never has been a "reason for blocking" button and I couldn't really be bothered typing because they are an a*sha* anyway.
But back to the point... hear hear i say and please bring a big shovel and clear some of the sh*t out while you're at it! 😃

Lorry, you never fail to make me laugh. The site is over if you ask me. I can remember when it took at least 5 to 7 comments to get on the popular page. Now it's like 2 and it's the same people almost every week. The sparsity of good writing here is depressing to me. Not to mention the fact that the owner doesn't care about his site. And yes, I've seen Lauren's (or should I say the bots) same comments to everyone on the live feed. It's such a shame to see this place collapse like it is. I never get comments here anymore so I drop in and write things that take 10 minutes. It's all very sad.

I just tried to log into your page. I get logged out like everyone else I go to.

[Lorry]

Maybe you should start a premium rate writerscafe compliaint line and make a mint man! 😃
And is it still called the popular page? I thought it must have got renamed the craziest asshat top ten! 😃
Seriously, I reckon it won't be long before writerscafe brings in a cull, like that movie where for one day a year you can kill people. (What the he'll was that called?)
Anyhoo, what was I saying?
Why did I just walk into the kitchen?
Did I just hear someone shout "Nurse! He's out of bed again?" 😃

[Relic]

LOL yeah, I certainly have a good past of complaining about this place, that's for sure. But only because I know it could be so much better. Whatever, maybe I need a nurse too. haha

[Lorry]

The purge! That was the name of that movie! 😃

Thanks Neville.

I found this message in a bottle/ on shores that I don't frequent often/ washed, no doubt, from some distant island/ where dreamers drown and wash to dry land/ a fate likely sealed by the siren's song/ reaching up from the realm of Poseidon/ but the table is set and the tea is on/ and company will be by at one/ then to the art show and the museum/ old things where most people love to see them/ I'm more for walking the beach at a toddle/ leash in hand/ looking for a message in a bottle/ If I had one of those metal detectors/ I might strike gold or buried treasure/ but I'll settle for less; for better or worse/ or a few lines scribbled in desperate verse

[Relic]

Nice poem Franklin. Thanks.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Cheer up, my friend. :) Life is good.

[Relic]

Outside this site, I'm very grateful for all I have. :)

It’s a sad situation. The ship is sinking and there isn’t a rescue party to save us. I’ve got my life jacket on Tim, so I haven’t given up yet altogether.

[Relic]

It took me an hour to get back on. You know me, I always complain but I'm always coming back...if I can. Thanks for your thoughts, Chris.

[Green]

Well I’m almost more worried about what shore of the Internet it’s going to wash up on. There’s far too many options. Hopefully it will be some benevolent people that can help us out a little here. Do you think they might respond better to smoke signals or Morse code? I’m starting to wonder if we’re speaking different languages.

[Relic]

It's such a sad state of affairs here Green. If only the owner would care about his site. Thanks for the input.
