A Poetic Plea Poets bring some sweetness and light to the Soup There's too much bitterness and ain't that the truth A little spice, lots of love goes a long way Blowing over the sea and far, far away. Poetry is the language of a poet's heart A language not meant to tear people apart Those wishing to stir up enmity and hate Do not use poetry sites to cast your bait. 7th April 2021

Such a 'sweet say,' casting the light of Truth onto a suddenly sore subject around the Soup. Haven't seen it like this in my 3+ years of posting. Hope it settles down immediately. Beautifully worded, Belle!

I hope it settles down too, I’ve never come across such behaviour before either. Thank you Gershon... Belle

Well said, Belle. I love this site , so I try very hard not to read the negative; makes for a peaceful place.

Best not to read or get involved with anything negative, it’s not what poetry is about. Thank you Eve... Belle

you've said this so well, belle! it's a shame that a few rotten apples try to do whatever they can to turn people against each other. poetry is not the forum for that - in this, you are 100% correct...

Thank you Ilene, the forum is not a place meant for rants, it’s for reading, writing, learning about and appreciating poetry... Belle

well said Belle some folk like to stir the pot rather than write poetry but its being going on for years, pretty pathetic behaviour - he thrives on causing tension and creating havoc I have him blocked:-( hugs jan xx

Thank you Jan, it’s attention-seeking behaviour, what they don’t realise it puts them out of favour. Hugs, Belle :-) xx

Well said Belle, its a site to share poetry, not a battleground to rant and rave about which party got in. I couldn't care less who's leading what country. Just accept it that democracy won and move on. Tom

Thank you Tom, poetry is what the site is all about, ranters and ravers should be shown the way out... Belle

Excellent advice, Belle. Followed by most, but for the few who insist on being argumentative. Thanks for posting this.

Thank you Jenna, it’s the few spoilers who need to heed those words of wisdom “Let it be.” ~ Belle
