Deactivated! Poem by Laurie Van der Hart

Deactivated!

Rating: 5.0


Dear reader
Ever so grateful that you looked for my poems
Actually, there are none here anymore
Currently, I'm at odds with the PH admin
Too many advertisements on this website
In fact, it has become quite unpleasant,
Very annoying to read a poem
And have stupid ads popping up
Terrible war tanks shooting at me
Enough already!
Deactivated, all of them, until - if ever - good sense triumphs over greed

Laurie, Sorry that you are leaving Poem Hunter, best of everything in your FUTURE! ! " In Life you have to take the Bad with the Good. Poetry does not put food on my table nor does it provide a roof over my head. It is FREE expression and nothing more."

Darwin, I thank you for your kind thoughts. I agree that PH allows free expression, and it has been a very nice outlet for my poetic expression. But I cannot accept that people get bombarded by war tanks when they read my poems! I feel that I play a role in supporting war, which I am entirely against.

Good to hear from you, Sylvia! You have always been so kind in your appraisal of my poetry. My poems are deactivated, not deleted. Let’s hope I’ll be able to activate them again in the future.

Thank you so much, dear Laurie, indeed DEACTIVATED, not deleted, thank you for yiour explanation, in my sadness I had thought too quick, You had been very kind and sympathetic to me.Just loved to read your poems like a story book, since eachof your poem has its own story and new challenges. They are impressing constantly.I am not flattering you, but what I said is true.

Laurie, You are (or were, at least) 'missed' by some on PH. I think PH has chased away others as well. Much of the time since you've left

May I call you "Laurie Wander Heart" for the time being, that is until you re-activate your poems? 😃😀

Hi Dear Poet, Very true, are your words. But we are here as we love poetry. We are putting up with the innumerable discomfitures.

I'm at odds with them and their apparent blessing of trolls, this is the worst poem site when it used to be the best, now it's turned to who can comment the most in one day, , anyway, miss you my sister, hope all is well with you
