Classy enough to call it a haiku?

depends on the time of day, or how far the collective stick-up-ass is. senryu... or sure. I'd leave a high vote on it. Ah, the end of the world....

Speaking of the world, What the hell happened? The ranker and all?

Don't really know "and all". I presume the dark angel contingent graduated. I fell out of phase, and then got more serious about poetry (and trying to get paid for it, which precluded posting anything to poemranker). And maybe it's just too bogged down, maybe the voting (ranking?) needs some other scale measure, ... probably things that are more recent should get precedence in terms of what get shown.

Got some free google advertising money today, tossing half of it at poemranker to see if anything happens.

The problem wasn't that people graduated, but rather that the fun people left. You know, the ones who'd comment and talk and (occasionally) troll. All poemeranker got left with was an incessant queue of MOAR POETRYS being posted with very few users bothering to engage with each other. Once there was a community, now there is a ghost town.

The lights go out
But the server runs
Alone, its cycles
Over-clocked
The packets never come.

This is one of those beautiful dystopian images. You know, where Time Team 3000 finally prises open the blast doors to see the server, bathed in an eerie glow, still humming away.

Across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans
or the Pacific, the other way round....
sound waves travel.
I hear you.

-10- for the message! :)

From halfway around the globe, an answer comes
Are we the only three?
Where are they, those pundits for poetic improvement?
are they busy, or just dead?
become stiff-shirt bigots maybe
tossed out the truths they yelled for
traitors all, and cowards!

Makes me think we need youtube-style "reply-poems". HMMMM.

Either that or a five-foot patent leather spanking stick emblazoned with the words "EVEN IN THE DEATHLY GRIP OF MY ANGST I WILL BE SOCIABLE". Too much to ask?

I wonder if cafe press offers those....

Every man has his price.

And if all else fails, just train a bear or something.

Poemranker is dead, right? Guess I will stop checking here.
