Synopsis Lament

Today i formed a Gather group

but Gather won't comply

your verbage is too long it said

a stick poked in my eye

i shortened my synopsis down

yet still it won't go through

an hour gone forever so

these words i write to you:

think twice before you try to start

a new group on this site

tread carefully my colleagues

or the same may be your plight

there's little more to say

so if you want to start one too

i hope you Gather sweet success

in all you type and do.

Don't give up - there has to be a way through their blockage.

I have gained some friends and some great compliment, but I haven't regained anytime. some well spent - the rest is just spent

The best work always comes out of the well of spite.

I loved your little ditty Jude! But watch out because spite can make you contrite...

Hello Jude! here a technical advice:
If it does not fit everything in the synopsis, just put add a tag to explain further the group's purpose. Never give up! Just find other paths! We are all impatient to learn what is all about! (And come and comment my article and the other comemnts about our collegue, Camille Claudel!
