Updated continuously by citizens like you, Newsvine is an instant reflection of what the world is talking about at any given moment.
Rain and window.
Tap..tap..tapping on the window pane
Swaying to the side, then straight again
Glistening teardrops roll down like rain
Fogging over as she sobs in pain
Tap..tap...tapping on the window pane
Clutching memories cradled in the frame
What's lost is lost, gone is the train
Smoke emanating, like clouds in a chain
Tap...tap..tapping on the window pane
Since my memberships to writers groups on the vine are forever "pending" I am writing and posting this short poem for those on the vine that might be inclined to read it...
#1 - Tue Feb 7, 2012 10:48 AM ESTNeetu, enjoyed the poem. Clipping to "World Seen Through Poetry" group and will send you an invite momentarily. Mstanley is the owner, btw -- I'm just an occasional admin:)
Edit: Ack! Can't clip, because the video is in the way of my list, but I just sent you an invite to the group. You can edit your article and add the group, once you accept the invite.
#2 - Tue Feb 7, 2012 4:50 PM ESTWell it should have arrived in your inbox on the email account you use for Newsvine -- assuming I did it right. I'll go click you in now.
Edit: OK, you should be in now, though your avatar isn't registering in the list properly. Not sure what's up with that. Probably an NV hiccup that will fix itself in a bit:)
Hi Neetu M
I feel your sadness in your poem. Like you, I have learned that sometimes it helps to write things down...and sometimes it doesn't. Know you have a sister of the heart. Our experiences may be different, but we share the same healing process. FR sent.

#3 - Wed Feb 8, 2012 10:41 AM ESTHi Neetu M... I just wrote a fairly long comment to you and it did not post. Our posts may have crossed and my comment was deleted. If you write a long post, keep a copy of it as you are writing it and save it so you do not have to write it from scratch again. I have seen where I just pasted a copy of what I have written without saving it and when the post disappeared, so did my paste.
Here is the post I wrote:
Hi Neetu M
I have only been a member since December and I was running into the same problem with both groups and friends until I wrote an article similar to yours. Maybe it is something that is more prevelant now. I think what happens, which is a natural course of life anyway, is people get comfortable with their group of friends and are hesitant to accept new friends or don't even see the friend request.
Also, as I am traveling around Newsvine and checking out different viners, I realize there are groups that I knew nothing about because they were not on the list. I have actually been struggling to find my niche partly because of this. For the life of me I can't find any American History on Newsvine and yet I read comments about it all of the time. Just today I sent an email to the viner I think made the comment about it. It also can't find any group for Photoshop users since I really do not belong in Newsvine's Photographers Group. I am hesitant to start a new group for this if there is already one around Newsvine.
Anyway, there are people here to help you out. Go to my column and read my article on New Members Impressions - Newsvine. In the comments you will find most of the best of the best of Newsvine. Check our their columns. They will assist you the best that they can.
Neetu M...not only am I your sister of the heart but we are sisters(?) in the experiences we have shared in our initiation into Newsvine. Take heart, things will get better - it is a good place to be even if we trip a few times along the way.
