Illmatic, Bird Dance was the only post I'd started before this one. I posted it at a time when the site was undergoing restructuring and had no idea that a Poetry thread existed. I was glad to see one finally did but it was frustrating chasing after my birds!
Admin, that porn post certainly deserved getting rid of; my response made that clear enough, I think. I wasn't pointing fingers here at your team, merely my bad luck at having my words disappear yet again. Perhaps I have a penchant for responding to controversial posts!
. In any case, THIS poem had a light-hearted vein to it because that was/is my attitude to my string of bad luck.My only main gripe was the poem I had to look for and another missing poem I posted on the Community section to welcome a nomad.
Like I said, I like what I see and am here to stay. I apologise for any disappointment caused!

Once upon a time She-Dreams found a new site
Somali, well-regulated, mainly peopled by the polite
Could it be? A wholesome refreshing sight
Then one day she couldn't find some words she'd posted
She scratched her head and refreshed her browser to within a inch of its life
Finally she sent an SOS
Admin suggested she refresh her browser…
For a moment She-Dreams was a fisherman’s wife
But by now the words had miraculously reappeared
Thankfully, it wasn't as bad as she'd feared
Not long after, a poem she posted went AWOL
She searched high and low for her dancing birds, this close to a bawl
In the end she found them safe and sound perched on a Poetry Thread
Where Admin said they belonged and yes, she had to condone
But they could have saved her the search-ache
Told her where her birds had flown
She-Dreams became frustrated with the site and became busy with non-virtual reality
Only to return not too long ago- persistence is her speciality
She posted twice on the same day, a successful pair
However, the next day she nearly fell off of her chair
She was seeing things again or not seeing things more precisely!
Gone was an impromptu poem written quickly and concisely.
The other post was a reply and phew it was where she’d left it last,
Where she received a welcome back from L-S, I digress but isn't he a blast?
Tongue-in-cheek she told him of the disappearances
Of how she prayed that that self-same humorous reply to the welcome would get through OK
It did; until the following morrow
When yet again she found that she couldn't find
Not just her words but the entire post
Sure she saw the irony but still felt a little sorrow
She-Dreams knows a good thing when she sees it so
This very day she replied to posts two
This time she didn't have to wait long for one to...you know the drill
Some guy had started an unpleasant post; for some it would have provided a cheap thrill
But when she thinks of the time she spent replying discouragingly to it
She feels somewhat jaded, jinxed and forlorn
Did the misguided post-starter ever get to read her response
To his invitation to all to view porn?
Yet she's an optimist with a keen sense of humour so she'll keep coming back
She's eager to see what becomes of THIS post; will she be able to keep track?
For it is a poem and belongs to 'Poetry' technically
It tells a specific tale so doesn't belong to 'General' particularly
It has a woman as the central character but doesn't belong to 'Women' necessarily
It isn't intellectual so doesn't belong to 'Camel Milk Debate' theoretically
It isn't offensive but refers to controversy obliquely
So it could end up somewhere/anywhere/everywhere and nowhere arbitrarily.

That wasn't nice at all. All children are beautiful.

Admin et al good luck coming to some decision as to the 'Qabiil' issue. Whatever it may be, perhaps your subsequent clarification on what if anything on qabiil is acceptable will help atleast the cooperative amongst us. Personally, I dislike it intensly and find any 'discussion' on it descends into chaos. Maybe you could invite us, the contributors to vote on it. It might give you a feel for the general opinion.

Poor Ken has competition. In the form of LS.
I'm back. I think. I've had difficulty posting on this site. Posts disappeared and moved; I got frustrated and was extremely busy anyway so I put in my own disappearing act. LOL. I returned and made 2 new additions- the one above and another. The other one is nowhere to be found. It was there then; it isn't there now. Deja vu
I'm not going to bother Admin again; I'll develop a reputation for being difficult. Besides Admin has already told me that he/she 'feels' me. I'm not going into my Private Messages alone again. LOL. See u around L-S, that is if my posts get through...this one included, let me say a little prayer. Here goes...
Did it work?

So long as there is a demand for it, so long as you can afford it there will be those that can be bought. Don't despair Haraky. Supply and demand; simple economics works even with the oldest 'trade' known to mankind. If you're looking for communication that is less difficult you'll find it with the likes of those that will pander to your every whim for a price. They'll give and tell you all you want to hear. Just be warned- they don't kiss.

You do, LS? Thanks.

Yesterday while I stood on a station platform I saw a sight that moved me enough to put it into a poem. I spent the entire train journey grinning and thanking the Almighty for having witnessed nature at work.
Bird Dance
In that elusive time before dusk covered the sky with its blanket
Black birds clouded an oddly clear winter sky
They danced and pranced; dived and jived
Happy shapes they drew, in loyal clump they flew
A large, fluid, sexy mass out to salute
The end of a rare, warm winter's day
Now and then a few broke off in sudden flurry
Flew their own rebellious way
Formed baby mischief-black clouds
But rapidly they'd be drawn back
To the magnetic, mother swarm
Once more they'd be one, an irresistible whole
At times the reckless would suddenly Kamikaze-dive
Into lazy, unknowing, rooftops
Then just as suddenly, a split-moment before contact
They'd curve elegantly back into the sky
Peacock-proud, eagle-sure;
Reunite safely with the fluffy ball
Transfixed, I watched; amused, I hid a smile
Wished I could swoop, soar and frolic,
Somersault in the sky, leave in my wake happy bird-prints
Liberated from earthly gravity, buoyed by levity
Play catch with the birds, catch play with the birds
That's when they flew teasingly, directly above me
Hypnotised, back and far fell my head
I caught sight of the soft, underside of the dark, feathery wall
Then heard a solid, dull thud to my left
Startled I turned awkwardly to find
A white-green, luminous bird gift on my shoulder
I laughed; not a care who saw, in no hurry
To remove acknowledgement from my shoulder
Celebrated, finally part of their fun-filled game
I waited fearfully, hopefully for more luck
But they were done wasting time with me and had
Returned their attention to a sulking temporarily ignored sky
The train arrived on unfortunate time
Reluctantly I stepped aboard, took window-seat
Pressed face close to cool glass, smiled secret smile and
Left my dancing black birds to perform to
An early, eager, full-perfect moon held captive
In the elusive time before dusk covered
A rare, warm winter's sky with its blanket

Not sure how the technolgy would work but to improve practicality why not insert the chip under the skin of the camels and nomads? A camel and a nomad would be easier to manipulate don't you think? Slight problem though..the top nomad would have to have an insertion and an ear-piece. Surely, there would be some kind of interference there? LOL

Sis, don't be a quitter. It's easier being one. Life isn't about 'easy'. Don't worry about what the other kids think, focus on yourself and what's best for your future. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do for 'later' when it's difficult 'now'. You were brought to new surroundings at age 11 and have made it this far and coped. Remember the adjustment you had to make? Can you bear to let that little girl down? Sis, shame is giving up. Right now you have something to be proud of; keep going. One day you'll be glad you did.

The Americans are merely getting more and more arrogant. Look what they've gotten away with so far. They now re-define POWs as 'unlawful combatants' to blur their intentions and deny these people rights as demanded by the UN and its conventions. So while the world is still distracted by definition and recognition, they've already started taking God-knows how many liberties.
America is the world's bully and every bully knows once you get away with something you just keep pushing the boundaries further and further...Who will stand up to the bully?
