My "Normalcy" poem was just deleted. Is normalcy worth writing a poem about?

I can't understand how they can misconstrue poetry for chatting...they are making less and less sense. I hope that you will appeal that ridiculous deletion...someone 'real' might actually be around for a change. Sorry it happened, and good luck with getting the verdict overturned.

Of course it was deleted for chatting. But of course, we know you weren't. I would say to repost it, we will uphold you in your decision. But normalcy is definitely worth writing a poem about, after all, even we poets need a break from the metaphorical, transcendental, and sublime. I look to others for grounding. So write about normalcy, my dear, and never cease.

I, for one, prefer the older and purer term "normality." "Normalcy" was introduced into the language by Calvin Coolidge who, although in many respects a perfectly decent fellow, was a Republican, which is a strong indicator of intellectual limitations.

Returning to the matter at hand, this happened to me once - but I have yet to present it to the Board of Directors of the Poetry Section, Department of Calumny & Opprobrium. I am open to any action which can ameliorate the situation.

I'm looking over my shoulder. Do you think I will be next? I hate this aspect of AY, it can depress me all day (and I'm a cheerful person) when I am made aware of what petty officialdom can do.

So, any poem which expresses something about yourself and asks others a question, is considered chatting? This is madness.

That's just ridiculous. I didn't get to read the poem so I can't even imagine how they could consider a poem as chatting.

I hate to say it, but it sounds like you have a troll.

We need to invent an invisible dye to tag those ugly trolls that delight in reporting. We would probably have to get permission from the parents for the majority of them though!

I agree that you should appeal that deletion. If everybody does it, maybe "they" (whoever they are) will do something about this ridiculous situation of just deleting whatever question or answer is being reported, without checking its contents.

Those stinking mother F ERS. I`ll give them something

to delete. And they won`t like it. But it would make my day.

If anybody thinks they have a troll, send him my way.

Poetry is what ever the poet wants to write about its your poem so should be your topic.
