She-Dreams Posted April 7, 2002 Once upon a time She-Dreams found a new site Somali, well-regulated, mainly peopled by the polite Could it be? A wholesome refreshing sight Then one day she couldn't find some words she'd posted She scratched her head and refreshed her browser to within a inch of its life Finally she sent an SOS Admin suggested she refresh her browser… For a moment She-Dreams was a fisherman’s wife But by now the words had miraculously reappeared Thankfully, it wasn't as bad as she'd feared Not long after, a poem she posted went AWOL She searched high and low for her dancing birds, this close to a bawl In the end she found them safe and sound perched on a Poetry Thread Where Admin said they belonged and yes, she had to condone But they could have saved her the search-ache Told her where her birds had flown She-Dreams became frustrated with the site and became busy with non-virtual reality Only to return not too long ago- persistence is her speciality She posted twice on the same day, a successful pair However, the next day she nearly fell off of her chair She was seeing things again or not seeing things more precisely! Gone was an impromptu poem written quickly and concisely. The other post was a reply and phew it was where she’d left it last, Where she received a welcome back from L-S, I digress but isn't he a blast? Tongue-in-cheek she told him of the disappearances Of how she prayed that that self-same humorous reply to the welcome would get through OK It did; until the following morrow When yet again she found that she couldn't find Not just her words but the entire post Sure she saw the irony but still felt a little sorrow She-Dreams knows a good thing when she sees it so This very day she replied to posts two This time she didn't have to wait long for one to...you know the drill Some guy had started an unpleasant post; for some it would have provided a cheap thrill But when she thinks of the time she spent replying discouragingly to it She feels somewhat jaded, jinxed and forlorn Did the misguided post-starter ever get to read her response To his invitation to all to view porn? Yet she's an optimist with a keen sense of humour so she'll keep coming back She's eager to see what becomes of THIS post; will she be able to keep track? For it is a poem and belongs to 'Poetry' technically It tells a specific tale so doesn't belong to 'General' particularly It has a woman as the central character but doesn't belong to 'Women' necessarily It isn't intellectual so doesn't belong to 'Camel Milk Debate' theoretically It isn't offensive but refers to controversy obliquely So it could end up somewhere/anywhere/everywhere and nowhere arbitrarily. ------------------ Make a today-dream a tomorrow-reality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hibo Posted April 7, 2002 sis, she-dreams I personally neva started a post however when i respond to some, I found them there the next day & didn't have any problems finding posts here so far, also it is the best interest of everyone that people post under approprite threads so that they could be easily viewed and managed, nevertheless u have legitimate argument in that the adm. could have atleast notify u, peace. ps:I hope adm. will apologize to she-dreams for any inconvience caused by their good intentions.

Deeq A. Posted April 7, 2002 She-dreams, It is part of the site rules for us to move threads as we like. It is nearly impossible to notify every poster when we move threads to the appropriate category. The LAST thread that you responded to is that "SOMALI PORN STARS" thread I think. That got deleted because we don't let stuff like that on our site. If I am not mistaken that thread was started by somebody else. You only responded to it, so if the thread gets deleted so does your post simply because of the way things are designed. Again, if somebody doesn't post under the appropriate category we don't make a big fuzz about it, we simply move it to the category we think it belongs to. We reserve the right to do so. Please forgive us if we caused you any headaches. We just have to keep things in order. That is all.

She-Dreams Posted April 8, 2002 Illmatic, Bird Dance was the only post I'd started before this one. I posted it at a time when the site was undergoing restructuring and had no idea that a Poetry thread existed. I was glad to see one finally did but it was frustrating chasing after my birds! Admin, that porn post certainly deserved getting rid of; my response made that clear enough, I think. I wasn't pointing fingers here at your team, merely my bad luck at having my words disappear yet again. Perhaps I have a penchant for responding to controversial posts! . In any case, THIS poem had a light-hearted vein to it because that was/is my attitude to my string of bad luck. My only main gripe was the poem I had to look for and another missing poem I posted on the Community section to welcome a nomad. Like I said, I like what I see and am here to stay. I apologise for any disappointment caused! ------------------ Make a today-dream a tomorrow-reality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
