I had a killer sequence

A formula for words

I came here to imprint it

Like raw metal found to shape

I came here to refine it thinking this would be the place

I forgot the melody

I forgot the rhymes

I forgot the feeling
And
I forgot the lines

I stood a gasp in wonder at what this place became

From A poetry journal with endless pages to a stupid political games

To the muses of my life
And
Inspiration wasted here

For all the venting done
And
Energy invested here

Another wave has come and the waters aren't so clear

I remember when the site creator tried to get my ear

I remember what I told them

A warning made quite clear

Of course they did not head it and the consequences reared

It's stunted growth a factor of its early brooding years

Now the complications surface from the damage done before

Things take a time to rot and die but stop and smell these shores...
Not sure where I'll back all this up but I think it's time I backed all this up.
