Bullysoup

whopping bully
torments soupers fully
picks on others writes
although her writing bites

great big bully
eyes must be woolly
she attempts hurt
with words curt

Some people are unable to distinguish between "constructive" criticism and "pejorative" criticism. A certain someone had all of her comments (none of them useful) expunged from here although her so-called "poetry" remains on this site for anyone to see. If you haven't seen it, you're not missing anything! Good write Diana-Marie.

I wish so too. I think it is absolutely horrible that she feels she needs to bring people down. Insecurity springs to mind. Everytime we post something we become vulnerable to our audience. Hurtful words have no place here on the soup.
