An Ode to Lost Email

And Publication Notices

Charlotte Kuchinsky
I have received only a handful of all my favorites' publication notices in the last couple of days. I know by emails sent to me from my fans they are not receiving my email notices either.

It may seem silly to write about lost email and publication notices when chances are no one will read it since the notices are not going out. On the other hand, I can't sit here and do nothing. It simply isn't in my nature. I have to reach out in my quirky way. So here goes. . . .

I can't find you.

You can't find me.

The mail is gone

Oh, can't you see.

It disappeared

Into thin air

Making us think

Nobody's there.

You can't read me.

I can't read you.

We'll all be lost

Before it's through.

I need my friends

Don't you need me?

Without support

What will we be?

I hope someone

Can fix all this.

Connect us back

Before we're missed.

But until then

Let this remind

I'll never leave

You all behind!

    The notices are GONE! I'm trying to revisit my favorites to see what I've missed!

    Great poem! I hope you got your e-mail back up and working.

    I realized this morning that I haven't got any email notifications from you, which is unusual. Going to continue down your profile page:)

    This is hurting my pageviews so badly :(. Only you and Michele seem to be reading my stuff. Thanks :)

    Nice poem - I was waiting to see if you managed to find anything that rhymes with "pro-active" LOL :) I have lost a lot of PV's this past week through my internet connection at home playing up, and being too busy to write as well. So far this month I am still doing well, but battling writer's block. I need a trigger to inspire me write about something...

    This has got to be hurting AC too, I have no notices from anybody today. I'll find my faves, but who will find me??? Sniff.

    I am still waiting for the glitch to be fixed, too. My page views have gone down, down, down!
