Defunct at Best

I had saved poems to read for my family and even though the selections were limited they were still archived here

Trying to add and search for other poems stopped being available as an option on this app

I’m still confused by the lack of depth and selections in the older days but now it’s all locked up and isn’t progressing at all

Where’s the development and progress

Who knows a better app for poem searches

This is supposed to be it

But this is what you get for free Neat

Obviously it’s easier now to make my own folders but wow Maybe Poemhunter is just lost in the woods with a broken bow and scattered quiver in the mud along the river

Sorry to say
