Received a ban notice for copying my last post in case it blew up. I know it wasn't for using an ad blocker because I still get ads for blocking ads (lol).
So, anyway this is a test... logging out didn't help and using a different browser didn't help... maybe an admin can help :)

Still banned from posting poetry (sigh)

Oh, my. I remember when I was banned, it was when I posted something late in the night. During the day, no problem.
If you want, try to send me the poem(s) through PM with indication in which thread you want them posted and we will try if that works.
Thank you for the offer :)
Even tried posting in a new thread, during daylight hours, today... no joy :(
When I get around to it, there must be one here somewhere, I'll sheepishly ask a mod what transgression I made and ask forgiveness and serve my time... only a backlog of 3-poems from the Thursdays at Two poetry group. My worst fear is that our "Lol" poetry challenge will be blocked for me too... guess I'll find out about that when I come up with a poem :)
Praying all is well,

Sent you a PN, tailor.
You're not "banned". Well, by me anyway and I'm the only Mod left :nod:
I can't see what you're seeing.
I can spend a lot of time guessing as to what is going on for you but realistically I have no idea.
I don't pretend to know all things technical re: internet
It is possibly a random / strange glitch, a conflict between outdated vBulletin forum software and current up to date browser Ad Blocking software. It could perhaps have something to do with the forum servers.
I myself also sometimes get strange random glitchy things happening when I'm doing Mod things here in the forums and or behind-the-scenes. I have no hard and fast solutions or answers to what is happening to you, sorry!
In any case, most of the time these glitches I experience resolve themselves after a period of a few days or so!
Fingers crossed this stops happening for you!
cheers,
/Logos

Hooligan! Rabble-Rouser! Purveyor of Pernicious Poems! The Fuzz finally caught up with ya, eh Tailor?
Thank you Logos... got your PM and replied and also found these posts :)
Just got back from a day away and will try to post to the Nonsense poem thread once more and then jump back here (which seems to be working for me so far) if it doesn't work.
re: Sancho - Yeah, my poetry and poetry-type stuff isn't exactly mainstream, lol.

I tried to post my poems here in this thread and received the same notice... maybe the content ??? of seemingly innocuous poems and two links ??? Maybe if I imbed the post with some markup tricks ??? Experimenting... no luck... will not post here either using "quote" or "code".
Hmmm... will continue to tinker.

Nothing seems to work, but I will continue to tinker...

Ok... chopping up my original post and not including links...
legend of the firebird
no one knows from whence it
came for ancient is the lore of
when the firebird first appeared
scouring the swampland and
forests with flame - a relentless
incandescence slaughtering
and scattering what remained
of tribes and families that day
from the perspective of the
firebird it was of necessity -
a need to make a nest with
which to brood her eggs in peace
- soon hatchlings kept her busy
in flight over great distances
to feed her innocent little ones
retribution, an invention of man,
soon followed when a lone warrior
returned to his ancestral grounds,
steeling his courage he butchered
the nestlings - using their remains
to conceal himself as he sought to
destroy their mother upon its return
tears, amber-red, like an angry
sun filtered through the eyes of the
firebird in flight when the deceit was
laid bare below her - and with the
realization of the futility of striving
with man she abandoned her nest
and became lost once more to legend
red are the waters that remain
of the watershed whence these
tidings came to pass - a testament
to the tenacity of dour men, or per-
haps the blood of innocents -+-*+

Part 2...
The next was from our Word Can from 5/16/2024 (with revisions):
Word Can: grasp, access, experiment, confetti, fling, eggshell
Youth: a series of experimental offenses
Guess I was in another experimental phase of my teenage years,
thus having absconded with some of the neighbor lady’s eggs
after accessing her coop by hopping a backyard fence
I found myself grasping an imagined Fabergé egg - when in truth
just a bespeckled egg mostly bereft of its dregs
hence I flung it into into the air and shouldered my dad's 30-06 with uncovered ears
... then BOOM! ha! bet you could of heard it all the way in Duluth!
it littered the yard and my hair with eggshell confetti - and praise be - it wasn't my last youthful offense

Part 3...
My Word Can poem from 6/6/2024: salty, countdown, wings, quiet, pane, vague, total, asleep
salty mouthed “too”
an existence within a cage
for a salty mouthed cockatoo is droll
for one whose wings are clipped
thus flight is impossible which is perhaps best
for a window pane is a bird’s bane -
no reason to be vague about it
best to be quiet while the “too” is asleep
for when the dog hears the mailman’s rattle
the fan is hit without a countdown
