Sad

[camus]

I've taken to posting a few poems on here https://poetrycircle.com/

And the quality and the feedback and the general vibe is nothing compared to this place. I'm genuinely sad about our demise, it deserves so much more. I can't put my finger on why it has not thrived? Or at the very least survived. We have dwindled to so very few, yet when I enter the bear pits of the likes of Eratosphere, i just think - get me the fuck out of here...

Maybe it's just me, a nostalgic trip that hasn't really ended, and maybe should. BUT I'll be really sad not to read your fine poems any longer. Some of the finest poets I've read are posted on here and I'm very proud of that fact.

Cheers

You did your best Chris. What a great forum it's been.

I know, I just find it so hard to let go of! But let go I must...

I was discussing with Mac that i may just keep it going until October (when the begging bowl for contributions rears its head) if no-one is bothered in contributing, then farewell.

Just out of interest T, what other forums do you post on?

Cheers

It seems a bit daft, but I've only contributed to this place. I have looked at Erat. but it's very off-putting for many reasons. Maybe Ill have to get my arse into gear if this place folds..

I agree. Not for me.

That's what's so frustrating about not having a regular contribution here. Even if it was a minimal amount of poets, 5 or 6 say, with the odd newbie blowing in from the frontiers. I could probably do more 'marketing' create a facebook page, look a little more closely at the SEO/Optimisation...But it's time I just don't have...

Oh well, trudge onward, and appreciate who we do have, see what happens.

Don't let go.
