Pieces broken everywhere There! by the coffee pot I see one, who knows why it was left and over by the chair,
I do not think this used to happen, but these days I find the pieces all the time... sometimes they're plain sometimes they rhyme Little pieces of my mind...
a buzzer sounds to say it's time now where is that fragment of my mind? I better set the next alarm Or surely something won't get done - Oh yes, I guess I need a drink, that would have been the one I saw beside the coffee pot, and wasn't I about to write but wait there's art that must get done or was it – oh a buzz again there's something else that needs attention from another piece how did I do it way back when?

I had trouble deciding where to put this since it does have rhyme but not conventional - some of it does and some of it doesn't because the rhyme itself is being used just as the varied line lengths and the way some lines are indented - it's all texture to the poem. But I decided there was more rhymed than not so I put it here.
!!! I just realized this site removes all leading spaces so that you can't indent lines !!! I think this is a problem and hopefully there is a way for the software to be set that will fix it but for now I shall replace leading spaces with html code for a space - if anyone needs to know, the code is

Hi Tim,
I enjoyed this. I can really relate!
If you go to the 8th box in the "Add Tags" category, you'll find the "pre-formatted" box. Click on it and type your text between the "pre" and the "/pre"* that will appear in the message box. Hope this clarifies this. Code is Greek to me! Thanks for your helpfulness
Brigid
* had to put these in quotes instead of brackets so they wouldn't give the "pre-formatted" command on this post!

Thanks - I'll try it that way. I can do code but it is a clumsy solution at best so I would much rather use something like you suggested. I figured there must be a way but I just didn't spot it myself.
