Question: They deleted me AGAIN! Will you rebel and read!?
UNDOING

I grasped it,
trying to forget it,
holding onto
what should have
never been!.

I held it,
trying not to need it,
hoping to love
without restraint
but no!.

I saved it,
trying to keep it secret,
but you can see
the iron
in my eyes!.

I had
the best intentions,
and tried to give
to the world!.
But I kept it too close!.

It's lovely!. I'm sorry you got deleted again!. Most likely the work of a troll!. I had someone trolling my poems when I first started posting and had several deleted!. I went to forums and asked why they were being deleted and was answered by an actual Yahoo employee!. He said that it was because of the way my question header was worded!. He also said that I can't ask for someone to read it or how they like it, or to even critique it because that is considered solicitation!. If it is not in the form of a question that is also grounds for removal!.
He then suggested that post my poem question header with "How can I improve it or make it better" So, I took his advice and started including "how can I improve it" and the violations stopped!. Hope this helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is nice, I like how there's no clear definition of what "it" is--could be love, could be understanding, could be!.!.!.

I'm wondering if switching have and never in the first stanza would be an option, just a suggestion, and I think a case of six of one, half a dozen of the other!.

By the way, I'm going to report this poem, it is obviously not appropriate content for Yahoo! Answers as it shows talent and artistry (ha ha)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This rings more true than anything I have read today!. I feel like I am losing mine, not in the old way but in the, just-can't-seem-to-keep-hold of it way!.!.!. It scares me that I might be lost in a newer world without the relics of my past in memory form!.!.!. I would not be who I am if not for her!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You have hater trolls!. They dislike you because of your genuine honesty!. You tell the world what is up!. Some people would rather look down!.

The webboy tells me that we will soon have a forum of our own!. It will be up to me to get 10,000 poets to go there!. We will see!.

I have two weeks to go on Deka III, then we move ahead with the summer books!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Your usual excellence noted!. At my age short term memory is decreasing!. I find it helps me greatly to let go of the thought and the frustration, take a break, and it comes back to me!. It's not like my youth when I won a medal for having a good memory!. (I wonder where I put that!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't understand how this poem could have been deleted!. Poems are posted about death, suicide, bodily functions and with obscene language!. This is beautiful, soft, flowing with a message that resonates with anyone who has a heart!. What's going on here!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

31 answers! This is ridiculous! Honestly!.!.I don't even know why I'm bothering to comment !.Look at you with that question!.!.!.you know the way to society's heart!.!.Scandal!.!.You know this is the softest rebel yell I've ever 'heard'!.!.!.Memory
