Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    She clapped
    and sang
    and danced
    and cried,

    and prayed
    for God
    to take
    her side,

    whilst all
    the things
    that once
    she knew,

    grew lost,
    estranged
    and all
    askew.

    That's nice and simple but have I heard it before somewhere? It sounds very familiar.

    I hope not. You could be right though. It felt familiar to me too. I don't actually read a lot of poetry. Every now and again I write something and then I look at it afterwards and wonder, hmm, is that original? Did I pick that up from somewhere else? Where did that line come from? Something familiar about that. So I google. I googled this poem before I put it up. Not the whole poem of itself but fragments of it. I do that a lot actually. So I agree it sounds familiar but from where? If it's plagiarised (or even semi-plagiarised) it's completely unintentional.
