That is a feeling hard to bear; we all need someone(s) who appreciate the pearls we create. I tramp on my own enough...I don't need anyone else to do it. I hope you have many who appreciate your work.

Sorry for the inhumanity each has to face during one's life. You certainly do not deserve to have your pearls treated with anything but love. Hugs, Bill

Delice, It is true and no one on soup or any other poetry sight is/was responsible. These things happen sometimes when someone close to us stabs us with a knife and then turns the blade. Your visit was encouraging. Sara

I had such an incident recently, took the wind right out of my sails as I have know this poet right from when I joined this wonderful poetic troupe,, I gasped at the abruptness, a comment which hurt me, mind you I am far too sensitive Maybe because I think before I write. Great thoughts poetically strung into pearls of wisdom dear Sara. Hugs and blessings Jennifer

Jennifer, Yes, it does hurt when someone thoughtlessly speaks about our work. I appreciate the insightful comment. Sara

Your poem serves as food for thought, Sara. Unfortunately some people can be cruel and uncaring, instead of encouraging and understanding. ~ Best regards // paul

Quite an image! Us poets do bare our souls. Some tread lightly…some indeed turn their snouts up at our work or tread all over the pearls. Great tanka, sweet Sara.

Kim, Your comments suit my mood so well. Mostly other poets have been nice on this site and on other sites that I have visited. Sometimes a villain will appear. All things considered there are people out there that will stick a dagger in and turn it. Thanks for your visit. Sara

Tom, I would definitely say they need to be avoided. Thanks for the visit. I am okay. I think there might be a break in the weather today forward leading to spring. Sara

Hi Sara…..love this! That’s why some are afraid to bare their souls for fear of them being trampled on! Well said in so few words! Debx

Deb, Yes, you have that correct. You can't share anything with them. Your visit is appreciated. Sara

and yet, out of pain, new creations are borne. Sorry, sometimes, people suck, but God puts 'em "in our way" to sanctify us, I do believe that. Take care!

Jeff, I agree that there is a reason why these unhappy circumstances happy to us. It is hard going through it but when we reach the other side, we are stronger. I do appreciate your review and very expressive comment. Sara

Hi Sara, Sometimes folk don’t care if we bare our souls. You described in a few words how one can respond when we do-Alexis
