Talking Smack

*I've been called a 'shrew,' told I am self centered, petty, and a few other rather insulting and invective names, so here is my rebuke. Who plays the straight man for the one known as 'Schmoe?' It's the Jester who juggles where ever Schmoe tells him to go. Then there's Mr. DoGoody who seeks the spotlight of fame, reproaching PS poets by pointing his finger at them in shame. Three fatuous figures who lie in wait for Poetry Soup blogs Croaking like three pompous bullfrogs in criticizing dialogues Verbal abusers, slanderer of a nation, and he who prances hoping to give Schmoe, his bro, the stage... the lackey dances. It's a tragic case of fools rushing in where wiser men never go A disease suffered by the egos of DoGoody, Jester, and Schmoe A threesome pretending they're Red Barons in control of awacs but they're just three old wacky muggins, Poetry Soup Quacks. Ask a question and see what nonsense they will spew at you Swearing their intent is righteous, and their cause is true blue, but the more they protest, the deeper the holes they are digging. A misguided clique always zagging when they should be zigging. So if you bother to read what they write, just consider this... the underlying meaning to their dribble shows what's amiss. It's a game they play...one where they often make mistakes Nuts have to be added to the batter while making a fruitcake Now if you're thinking I'm just as guilty for some name calling, I'm ready to be under attack with their whining and squalling. I've already been accused by DoGoody of talking behind his back... So here I am, you're all unblocked if you want to talk more smack.

Sadly the world is full of incompetent narcissists a.k.a egomaniacs with inferiority complexes. I've had to deal with them on other sites. But the best revenge is to ignore them... it eats their lunch and drives them insane... bwahahahaha write on dear poetess write on...

I'm not sure what all the in-fighting is about but there is no need for people to be rude or plain vicious - life's too short for that kind of BS. Never back down, Jenna, stand your ground.

Hi, Freddie. There's no sense in trying to sugar-coat the truth about certain people who seek attention with such rude and disrespectful behavior towards others. Yet, they are the one who claim to be victimized. It would be funny if it were not the sad reality. Thanks for stopping by with your thoughts.

Anyone looking for the abusive thread started by Keith is too late to read his latest insults to the poets who have commented. I'm immune to his spewing, but I'll not allow him or anyone to insult the kind hearted poets who respond to my poetry. I've removed his offensive name calling of me and others, but I have retained all of it in case anyone needs a reminder of how obnoxious and disrespectful he is. To Victor and Brother Jacob, since he would never think of apologizing for his rants, I'll say, "I'm sorry that his scornful tirade included you."

I appreciate your thoughts, Jacob. I read what he wrote to you and about you...before he called me a 'spoiled brat.' If he wasn't such a hostile person he could almost be pitied, but that would be a waste of my concern.

I awake at dawn and it’s a no show, I always believe peoples silence, speaks volumes about them, therefore one must assume your point and poem has surely been proven.

Hi, Rico. They can write what ever they choose. I know what they're doing, and I won't be intimidated.

It's all poop to me, Jan. lol Sticks and stones when considering the source. They seem to think it's ok for them to throw them...real bravado...especially when they throw them at women.

I’m sorry you have to put up with this childish abuse Jenna. I’m proud of you for sticking up for yourself and writing from the heart. I feel sorry for any jerk that does it here. Gloves are off my friend

It’s amazing that grown men act like this. If they didn’t have a keyboard to hide behind they wouldn’t be so brazen.

It's been ongoing for some time, as you know, Mark, and only serves to show what kind of people they really are.

Well said Jenna. Hit them hard. They are probably third rate poets.
