I am in mourning, for the death of one of my dear friends. My sorrow is deep, and cutting. How can I overcome such grief, when my friends' passing was by my own hand? It all happened, because I was not happy with my friends' place in life. I thought too much space was being used for naught, and I sought a way to deal with the problem. With just a few strokes, my friend was permanently deleted- so goes the death of one of my poems.
When Gather was having glitches, I had posted my poem twice, by accident. As I was looking though the posts, I thought I could delete one and the other would stay. May I proceed to say, it never pays to assume, but MOST IMPORTANT, a writer should ALWAYS have another copy of their work on hand!
If the line will, please, form to the right, I'll gladly turn my backside. I don't think a few swift kicks could hurt anymore then what I did to myself

What's the standard sentence for poetry manslaughter, anyway?
I'm so sorry about your loss. It's ours too. I always enjoy seeing what you have written.
It helps me to write my articles down in a notebook. Sometimes, I write them down as I work on the computer and other times, I write them in the notebook first. I have my days when they don't make it to the notebook--the computer is the "one and only" source.
Believe me. You are not alone.
