The Price of Carelessness
I have made a serious mistake;
One that breaks the golden rule;
A photo used to illustrate my words;
Was not mine to have;
I didn't see the watermark;
Until it was too late;
I have asked for its removal;
But I am afraid that may not matter;
I don't want to be banned;
From writing for you, my friends;
But carelessness has a price;
And I take full responsibility;
So it is time for me to pay up;
Although it makes me very sad;
My already torn heart breaks;
It is time for me to leave you;
I would rather go on my own;
Than be branded as a thief;
I am sorry that I have hurt you;
Your forgiveness means more;
Than my writing for AC;
Please pray for me;
God bless and take care;

Post a CommentI am sorry to hear this! But you have admitted that's a great thing to do! You should never stop writing Lisa. I am sure things will be okay, don't give up. God bless.
I'm sorry to have gotten so behind, Lisa. I had no idea this was unfolding, and I am belatedly giving you my wholehearted support in this matter. C'mon, an honest mistake is an honest mistake, and beings that you just put one up today, I can see all is "so far, so good" with you. I hope everything is going well for you otherwise. Good nite and God bless!
Keep your head up, it could always be worst....Blessings
Nay I say! Do not let them silence you words! Stay and defend! You have the support of so many here at AC!
If you have to leave, I will really miss reading your stuff. But I hope somehow you get to stay.
I am very sure everything is going to be alrightr Miss Lisa. there are many that have done worse than making an innocent mistake as you dont let it bother you and hang in there. We all support you. ken
Lisa please dont worry about being judged. ken
You deserve to keep writing the lovely poems that you do. You make us all happy!!!! You really do!!!!!
Lisa, you are so beautiful to me!!!! And you do not deserve to be banned!!!! I wanted to tell you this!!!!
Lisa you mustn't let something rating and what others think upset you. Until today when I was talking with Kady I had never paid much attention to ratings. The only thing that matters is that those that know you love your work and we love you. I would be lost without your comments, and they would be missed more than you can imagine.
