I used to belong here
But now I have changed
As has this place

I ve seen so many people come and go
While Thousands of my daydreams vanished
In this cruel place of comfort

We would get by on hopes
But they rarely panned out
Now we’re on the ropes

The end will come sooner then later
As our numbers dwindle
I’ll recollect it all

Before I collect myself and move ahead

PM~

'cruel place of comfort' ???

Hm, surely you can't be speaking of the hallowed halls of PiP here, right ?

Of course not !

'As our numbers dwindle' ?

Whew ... I should have comprehended it all before beginning my reply ... for the PiP numbers sure aren't dwindling ... they are growing by leaps and bounds~

With this site, as well as other Internet poetry sites, some come and go ... but that's the nature of the beast that compels us to seek our own comfort zone~

I am SO comfortable here~
PiP is of course, in my opinion, the best of the best that the Internet has to offer~
A home with many rooms, library shelves filled to overflowing with volumes of so many talented writers~

Even those who 'used to belong here' manage to find themselves coming back home~
We like it when that happens cause we know we must be doing something soooo right~

Welcome home

I like it.

Marge Tindal
the poem isn't about the fourms here its about one of my jobs and and how it seems as if I have been there forever. The line about "as our number dwindels" refers to my close friends at the place quiting. but after I wrote the poem I realized that this is a recurring situation in my life.

thanks for your comments
