Could someone please stop the ridiculous spam advertising various drugs that is littering the blog page and has also made an appearance on the stream. Jx

I spent the afternoon de-capital lettering a lot of my poems. I'm truly sorry (and slightly embarrassed) that they seem to have now monopolised the wall from the home page.
I didn't mean to inflict them on you all for a second time, in future, if I edit, I'll just do one poem at a time.

Have you got that certain time of the day or night, that you would like to share with me?
I have been seriously thinking of reviving our chat room!
Maybe give it a new coat of paint and get some fresh faces in there.
Remember how much fun it was to throw some pixie dust at each other and
mess up Paul's office? We had some serious chats, some that dissolved into chaos
and those that made us all think and learn new skills!

Nobody except admin has ever posted on the Neopoet.com page on Facebook. Are you able to? Please try it and let me know. I will try harder there but I am strangely de-motivated. It's like I am just trying to think up clever quotes about poetry to post. I would rather others posted there and engaged in conversation. Is the Facebook page set up wrong?
