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.
