Let 'em whine my friend. Your poetry is top class and if its jealousy that drives'em--let em eat their vain blackened hearts out. Great and meaningful poem you've penned. A7

Yes, what you said! Again - you are Limerick Lady - so darn good at it. They are a blast to read and never fail to make me laugh. Thank you for that ... CayCay

I posted it as rhyme as lines 3 and 4 don't rhyme but it does have a limerick feel to it:-) hugs Jan xx

Some are old farts, some are young tarts, some dont even realize thats exactly what they are. I will say supporting them is as bad as being one. Something for some here to ponder.

Bullying can be done in so many different ways... I like how you express how it feels to be bullied, have felt those same feelings - the last line kinda disappointed me - seemed almost like bullying back. I admit I have no idea what's going on, just what I felt as I read.

Thanks for dropping by Susan - the last line was meant in a humourous way but I guess can be interpreted the way you did:-) hugs jan xx

Well Jan, you're final line narrowed it down to a big bag of wind and eventually that's how a bully ends up - well written - Lindsay

Glad that even when hurt, your writes still have that oomph which make me smile. I agree with Eileen. We face the world with a brave face, but it's those people who genuinely love and care for us that we turn to when we feel down. We're here for you, Jan. hugs!

Sorry I missed your comment Tim - just the usual chaos on the blogs - they cause so much distress to people:-( hugs jan xx

You can certainly put a bully in his place. Good to see you take up the cause. Love Edith

Jan, your poem speaks the truth, to me bullies are just cowards seeking attention, stand up to them and they run away crying, I read a book once on the types of personalities, like the bulldozer, the yes person, the no person, the joker, the backstabber, the gossip, etc etc, it was fun to read, oh yeah there was the no opinion, there was a bunch others, I wish I still had that book !!! Anyways great write 7 ~

Packed with righteous message! I had a hunch you were speaking of bullies ( seen through your picture also). They are not loved nor appreciated but this doesn't mean they can take it on us.

Jan Allison

Thanks Leon:-) Hugs jan xx

Not necessarily written about me Nette - I penned this last week - but on seeing a very nasty blog today (now removed) and hurtful comments it was a good time to post it:-) hugs jan xx

It's a general poem, its not really about me Anne Lise but I have been bullied on here at one time in the past it was so bad I wanted to leave but I am stronger now! :-) hugs Jan xx

i rarely have time to read the blogs here, jan, so i guess i'm lucky to be missing some of the nastiness that seems to be going on. too bad! i like the way you've addressed this in your poem, though...

Jan Allison
Date: 1/10/2016 1:07:00 PM

Keep away from them Ilene you are a wise woman indeed!:-) hugs Jan xx

Cool rhythm, almost LIMERICK-LIKE! I love your final line! You tell him, girl!! Best wishes, Keith (PS apt title.)

Jan Allison
Date: 1/10/2016 12:55:00 PM

I do love writing limericks Keith but they are meant to be humourous and bullying is no laughing matter:-) if you have time do drop by my collaboration with Rob Bettridge called .. he's bent lol:-) that is limerick heaven lol:-) hugs jan xx

I just saw your response to Dalia's review, and the the BIG description in your proforma! Duh!! Yes, bullying is totally bad and wrong. K.

Thanks Dalia - bullying is a topic I feel very strongly about :-( Hugs Jan xx

You, Jan, know how to deal with such situations, but not all are capable of doing so. Bullying can do much psychological damage to a person who is shy and weak and unable to stand up for him/herself. Hugs // paul

Jan Allison
Date: 1/10/2016 12:23:00 PM

I was bullied at school when I was a kid Paul I have been able to talk to kids where I work about what happened to me and my being bullied poem was used on a website in the US - so sad to see it going on in soup with so called adults - I have the power of my pen to write about many things I see:-) hugs jan xx

Jan Allison

I'm fed up of the bullying sniping back biting especially on the blogs Luloo - if people could see how we hide our pain maybe read between the lines of what we write maybe it would be a nicer place:-( hugs Jan xx
