In this age of technology it does not have to be a physical landscape which attracts writers and poets. This a plea for support by a member of the BBC Get Writing site which is sadly closing it's doors to it's many thousands of members on the 24th of March.
A PLACE TO BE
There is a place,
not geographically positioned,
where landscaped colours,
purple, green and white,
are the familiar rolling hills
to folk throughout the world
to meet and greet and write.
It is in cyber space,
that this community exists.
A place for writers and for poets,
a space created by the BBC.
We’re fighting for survival now
so please, will someone
listen to our plea.
For now they,
the gray faced powers that be
are sending in the wrecking ball,
the heavy plant, the JCB.
Oh, they will leave some content,
sure, but then this land,
bereft of people will no longer be
community.
Hopefully some people who read this will go to ican, read about the campaign and sign in with their support.
