The san san is a form I am very much taken with, repeated images and a reasonably loose rhyme scheme so it doesn’t develop a predictable sing-song rhythm. Thanks to all of you who had a bash at it, your poetry is a joy to read.
Call by tomorrow for the next theme.
Merril was first in this week with the ultimate in romantic poetry. Selkies—beautiful!

Peace and tranquility ooze from Janice’s poem.
Spring moon contemplation – Ontheland

Ken with a poem that drifts through the elements, water, flight and poetry. Lovely.
Hello Jane … following a link to your last week’s post, I just got a security warning … someone has used your site for phishing or so says Google. I thought you might like to know …
Thanks! I thought that post had gone out okay. I can’t see anything at all except the red security warning. I’ve changed my password and will try and post something to see if I can.
You might want to go onto the WordPress forum to see if they’ve got anything to suggest in these cases. Or maybe a google forum.
I’ve looked and I don’t understand any of what they suggest. The jargon just defeats me. I don’t even know what pfishing is.
Phishing is a nasty piece of work … a form of fraud where someone steals your site coordinates and then uses your site as a cover to try to get people to give them their passwords for things like credit cards … etchttp://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/phishing.
You’d think they’d choose a more appropriate site then. The opportunities for credit card fraud from my blog are limited even to my imagination 🙂
LOL … I think they probably find a way so that a pop-up opens advertising something or other …
Does anybody really read pop -ups? I only ever look for the button to turn them off.
Not sure .. I don’t – I’ve got an app to shut them down as soon as the pop-up. But sometimes they open a second page anyway. The problem seems to be the buttons to turn them off … they sometimes just reroutes the user and zap .. they get hacked.
Like the twitter hackers. You just have to open the direct message and they’ve got you.
Yes pretty much … another reason not to tweet.
I enjoy the twitter poetry but I get intensely irritated by the DMs from authors asking me to buy their book.
I don’t think I’d like that either … I’ve got enough bother with the telephone promos … wouldn’t want that stuff popping up all the time.
It’s the bare-faced arrogance of it—spamming authors with your book ‘if you’re a reader, you might be interested in…’ Just shows they don’t even bother to look at your profile before they spam. I know it’s a machine that sends the message, but it’s a human being who sets up the programme;
All in the line of the hard sale. I suppose they think if they bombard you enough you might buy their book … or whatever. Yes it’s a program – or rather a robot … and there’s no sense in it at all.
They ought to teach the robot to read as well as write…
LOL!
BTW I can’t get to you outside of the Reader …
If changing the password doesn’t work I’ll have to get the WP cowboys onto it.
Yes, I think you’ll have to do that … hopefully all will work out well quickly! And this might make a good post for the future.
Changing the password doesn’t help. The forum says it won’t because whoever has hacked my blog has left cookies on it and I have to track them down and do god-knows-what-all else.
I understand what you’re going through … WordPress isn’t very helpful when there are real problems, sigh, they just tend to jabber jargon. I was trying to figure out how to use a plug-in for backing up my blog, but I’ve got no “Plug-in” voice in my directory! And the more I try to figure out how to add the plug-in the worse it gets as they keep telling me to go to the Voice Plugin … etc … a sort of Catch 22!
Somebody did explain to me how to do a back-up and I actually did one. But it’s something you ought to do almost every day, and i’ve forgotten how to do it anyway… Just the word plug-in makes my eyes glaze over;
You and me both … I’ve the feeling that in order to get a plug-in to work I’ll have to do something like installing a code editor or something .. and I’ve never been either fond of or good at programming. 😦
You’d think there was a simple way to do a back-up. In fact, if I’ve ever done one it must have been simple. I’ll have to ask the friend who told me in the first place.
There doesn’t seem to be a simple way … if you come across something I’d sure like to know. It’s usually a good idea so backup your work.
I will. It’s pretty stupid not to do a back up. I do back ups of everything else.
Thanks … so do I. To tell the truth I’ve gotten into the habit of copying my post into Word doc form … but it would be nice to just do a backup – it’d be a lot handier I think.
It would. I’ll see what I can dredge up.
That would be much appreciated!
Me too!
I enjoyed all of these.
btw… I am having the same warning issue with The Secret Keeper.
I can see the posts if I scroll through the categories, but get the warning message if I click on the post. The engineers can’t find the problem. If it’s a global problem I find that reassuring 🙂 Stupid.
