I will NOT allow ANY POET to make assumptions On any of my poems Or make personal comments About my life Any comments on my poems That violate my space And my privacy Will not be taken lightly I am a loving, honest, sweet friend I am a formidable foe Consider yourself duly warned! Jade I've had a poet before post on my work asking me pointedly who the poem was about. That is nobody's business but my own. I will not take lightly to meddlers. Disclaimer: I've made my own share of assumptions as well. If the person is someone whom I care for, I have asked him/her about it. It all depends on the level of friendship, I guess. People who don't know me...have no right to assume anything about me or my life.

Ok, so you know I went straight to the title "WARNING" to see what it was about. Sometimes you just gotta lay the smack down on people, don't ya? Well, one plus side to you getting amped up is that we get to see that firey side in your writing. Of course, you always write passionately...really. I know I joke around a lot, but you've got spirit and I like that.

Thanks, Caleb. I've been deleting some of my poems lately....You missed some of the really passionate pieces. Erogenously Yours...that is something you can tease me about.... ;) I've missed you around here. Thought about ya, but thought you needed some time away. I'll catch up with you when I can....I'm steep in Collaborative Writing as a Means to Increase Motivation!!! ;) Will come back when that's all done. Hugs

Fair enough, Eileen...a warning is a warning, and whoever it is should know better. We already share a lot in what we write, but we can't be expected to turn sharing into gossip...that won't do! Hugs // paul

Thank you, Paul....I appreciate your words. I've had one or two make personal comments on my work that were not solicited. I thought of writing a steaming response, but I wrote to a friend instead who calmed me down. I appreciate your thoughts. Thanks for visiting me. Hugs

I am having a crazy busy week so I have had less time to read and comment.. This posting has created quite the dialogue. I think it is important to set limits. I feel bad that anyone would make you feel this way. This can be a fickle and sometimes cruel place. Still you have a core of faithful friends, in the end they and you are the only thing that matters. Much love my friend, hugs Rick.

Yes, my core of friends mean the world to me, Richard. Some of the people here I'm more connected to than people in "real" life. You are one of those people. Thank you. Hope you have a chance to relax this weekend. Sending love.

Good for you! Go, girl, go,girl, kick some butt! This is a creative expression site and if people misinterpret work, they should see either into themselves or a Psychiatrist to get the paranoia issues sorted. Carry on with your lovely works,Jade. Viv

Good humor there, Andrea....It's more of a...."if the shoe fits, wear it" type of scenario....#justsaying. Thanks for the visit, Hon.

Be true to yourself and your feelings Eileen. If you feel someone is hurtful block them. Later if you feel better about the situation you can remove the block. Don't let anyone silence you or keep you from expressing yourself. Your best poetry comes when you lay all your emotions out in a poem and you know that and treat each as a child hence your poem " All My Children". You are very protective of your poetry and have very right to be since the poems are your deepest feelings (most of the time)

Thank you, Tim. I went through a patch of deleting my poems. I was away for about a month. Now the name change. I don't know....are these just signs that God wants me to move on? If this place because more of a trouble than it is worth...I might have to do that. I've tried to keep my chin up. My poems are very dear to me. I know people can't understand that, but....I'm obsessive about my poetry. Thanks, Tim. I need my friends around me right now. Hugs

Jade, for the longest time I felt sad, not commenting on your poems. I was ignorant towards every good poet on this site. I even stop commenting on Leonora, whom I miss so much. I don't belong here. I am different and many will always dislike me for no reason. Anyways, I wish I was as strong as you, Not allowing poets to make assumptions about me or any my poems. You are wonderful and encouraging. Don't forget amazing and beautiful. Always~ LINDA

Come now...you are being modes. You're top of the most popular list of poet! :) You are not a princess....You are a Queen. ok...about the collab. Yes...An honor. We'll write about ruling the world! I did leave PS for about a month. I was also in the process of deleting my poems. I deleted quite a few. I think I stopped when I came to the poem about Richard L. I felt bad to delete that so I stopped for a bit. I read, but didn't post. I needed a break. The feeling comes and goes. I might be less active in the coming days because I need to finish an academic goal. We'll see how things go....hugs

JADE, i don't think this poem's about me.. Oh NO!!! I was just sad, that I hadn't been around as much. I also know you left for a short time. I hope it does not happen again. I don't know why poets feel the means to bully others. You are a queen like Andrea, on this site LOL, I'm only a princess. Maybe a tiny Titan Princess. And one day we shall write one of the best collaboration poems. Not the best, but one of the best. If you would like to one day. always ~LINDA

PD....I think you know me well enough to know that I try to be honest. I speak my mind. I know not everyone likes me because of that, but I can't change who I am. I can tell you in all honesty, this is NOT about you. Unfortunately, being honest also means that when someone asks me a pointed question, I answer. I will not be intimidated. In many ways, I'm very weak. I've been struggling with depression for four years now, and that makes me vulnerable in many ways. However, I will not be subjected to bullying or painful posts. Thank you for reaching out to me now. I do appreciate it very much...Hugs! :)

I don't want to know who or what your poems are about, Jade. However, it makes me sad to know you are bothered ATM. I won't ask to know what is wrong or going on. You are a blessing to this site. By experience, I know I can't comment openly on your poems. Sometimes I feel, you are over protective. Which is good! That means you are firm. That's why I removed a few comment on your page. I felt I offended you. I never wish to offend you. So I keep my comments short. Except for this one. LOL

you never hurt me, I hurt myself... with others thinking, i could trust them.

Eileen Manassian
Date: 3/18/2015 11:34:00 AM

I may be oversensitive, PD. I will admit that about myself. It isn't a good thing. I wish I could change that, but I cannot. I'm also intuitive. I usually am able to know what is going on around me from the start. I'm not always correct, and if I haven't been....I will make amends where necessary. I know that you went into hiding for a time. I honestly felt bad about that. You are back, full force...and you have every right to be here. Like I said....PD is a Poetry Soup TITAN. Your poems are everywhere, my dear, and you have a fantastic following. If I've hurt you in any way....I'm sorry. Be blessed and happy. Hugs

Eileen..When you have time listen to this year's maltese eurovision song contest-Its called 'Warrior' by Amber..It lifts my spirits when I feel low,and hey I dedicate it to you cuz i see so much of you in that'Warrior'.

Eileen Manassian
Date: 3/18/2015 10:35:00 AM

Oh baby.....I know this person's intention very well. It's useless. Sometimes things are just unresolvable. I can either block or be strong. I'm opting for be strong, but I will not let anyone intimidate me. Thanks for your sweet post. I do love you. Hugs

Charmaine Chircop

Date: 3/18/2015 10:32:00 AM

Eileen you have a right for your privacy sweet friend..Whenever I read your poetry or others ,I always try to find the way it relates to me..and in any person I can find a bit of who I am..Si keep sharing your beautiful poetry.Maybe this person intention isnt bad.Maybe you can solve it through soupmail..

How horrible Eileen - I have never had that happen to me - stay strong BUT remember the power of the block button is at your fingertips:-) Hugs jan xx

Eileen Manassian
Date: 3/18/2015 9:59:00 AM

I've blocked and unblocked...blocked and unblocked...trying to be strong, but.....I guess sometimes that's the only recourse. No one is on my blocked list yet, but....perhaps that will change soon. Thanks, dear.
