Deactivated Poems



I noticed lately that some of my poems have been deactivated
and asked myself what on earth have I now done wrong?
So wishing to get an answer about this to feel exonerated
got a reply back to say the language used was too strong.

Dear member,
We restrict the use of slang words in poems. Therefore, your poem is not on the site.

But the reality of the situation is that the poems in question are still on this site it's just that they can't be read by anyone and
I wasn't initially informed of their being classed as having slang words in them or asked to amend or change the offending words.

I have made a list of the deactivated poems which are mine and listed them here below. If anyone is curious or interested enough to find out what kind of 'slang' words have been used in them I invite one and all to search for them elsewhere on the internet to read and judge for themself.
Please note that I don't use swear or foul words in my poetry and prose writings so you might be a little disappointed and may wonder why the 'hell' have they been deactivated.

#1. A Doggerel To The Local Dog(s)
#2. Basic Necessities
#3. Hyperbole And Rigmarole
#4. Prose: The Wound That Took Ages To Heal
#5. Simple Observation #439 - The corona virus has....
-----------------------------------
Who knows if they'll deactivate this entry as well? If convenient or possible please let me know what you think. Thanks for your patience and support.

If you wish to send me each of your offending poems I will look at them to see if I can make a suggestion to help you get them reactivated. Have a better day! You are not alone!

Censorship is always problematic and probably immoral as well George, but many still think they have God's ear and are God's voice! It is sad!
