Once upon a time on Vocal
When there were readers of stories
Once upon a time on Vocal
When readers took the time to read
And share in each others varied stories
When reading came from the heart
When we read the stories because we cared
We read because we supported
The writers of sad stories
The writers of happy stories
The writers of funny stories
The writers of great stories
And the writers, as we all have been
The writers of horrible stories
I know, I have a few of those
Those who wrote brand new stories
Hoping with eagerness and anticipation
Wide-eyed, for acceptance into the fold
Of stalwart writers on a new platform
To write and have their stories read
Vocal's platform is ever growing
Yeah!!! we say, wonderful for everyone
However, Though I find it not perplexing
The more Vocal grows
The less engaging are her writers
Writers are writing
Yet very few are reading
We are all so caught up in
Me, myself and I
Spreading our wings far and wide
On many different platforms
Forgetting the writers at home
Who started with high hopes
Of writing into a Vocal family
Of acceptance and mutual sharing
So while our bubbles burst
In their fledgling stages
We muster on
Writing purely for the joy of
The love of the written word
And the wonder in every new story~
