Writing Gone Wrong.

Bloody Internet Spiders!

Writing Gone Wrong.

My page was blank for hours;

I wrote one word,

Then two,

Suddenly it deleted!

I wrote again,

One,

Two,

Three words,

DELETE! DELETE!

What, again?

I was so frustrated,

My face looked like a squashed tomato.

I started again,

But the words wouldn't come.

It was like waiting for the bloody bus,

The one that always came late,

Now;

I don't want to publish this,

A case of internet poetry hate!

I try again,

One...two...three...four,

Great,

That's four sentences,

I wrote.

I was thrilled,

So I clicked 'submit,'

In big red letters on my screen,

DELETE! DELETE!

Then,

I saw them;

Bloody internet spiders,

On my page!
