Charles Messina Poet Couplet

Crumb

(Happiness is a warm gun- John Lennon)


When someone CALLED me very dumb 
I felt as tiny as a CRUMB 

I never played those CHILDHOOD games 
That's no reason to CALL me names 

CLEARLY, they all have picked on me 
I'm mentally CHALLENGED, you see 

I go to a COUNSELOR, now 
To CURVE the way I think, somehow  




All those CREEPS, I hate them all- still 
I didn't need a CHILL-OUT pill 

I just needed a CARING friend 
To stop the CRUELNESS- make it end 

Ev'ry day and night, I still CRY 
So, if you all CAN'T wonder why 

My CHOSEN words, with my last breath 
Bullying, is what CAUSED my death

Constance La France February 2, 2022 at 7:55 AM Charlie, thank you for entering this lovely couplet poem in my C-Forms contest, sadly it did not follow the contest requirements, I asked for 2 or more stanzas of 8 lines each using couplets, therefore I could not place it, but it is still a wonderful poem, thanks for your support of my contests ~Constance Charles Messina February 2, 2022 at 2:04 PM Constance, thank you so much for reading and commenting. Next time when I am confused, I will Soup-mail you (lol) ~Charlie

Lindsay Laurie January 25, 2022 at 3:44 PM Hello Charles ... bullies next stop to think about the challenges their victims go through in every day life. A good couplet with a solution that happens too often Charles - Lindsay

Alexis Y. January 16, 2022 at 6:58 AM WoW! Charlie, You penned such a meaningful, impactful, and insightful piece on bullying. Bullying is not ok at all. As you have expressed so well, some can end their life as a result of it. Bullying of all kinds needs to stop. Best wishes in the contest- Have a great day-Alexis

Victor Buhagiar January 16, 2022 at 1:03 AM Funny my contest entry will include buying. I'll post it tomorrow. But yours is much better. Seems I've lost my muse. Best for a win.

L Milton Hankins January 15, 2022 at 2:24 PM Thank you! Thank you! a thousand times thank you for this fine piece on bullying, Charlie. I absolutely loved the way you combined with Cs and the couplets, which makes the poem more memorable. A FAVE for me! Charles Messina January 15, 2022 at 6:06 PM Hey Milton, thank you so much for faving this, you are welcome ten thousand times my friend. This is a subject that needs to be recognized by many, yet so many can relate to this. Thanks also for always commenting. Means a lot. Charlie

Paulette Calasibetta January 15, 2022 at 1:23 PM Your C-form couplet reveals a hard truth. Bullying is prevalent in society, causing so much unnecessary pain. Good luck in the contest....looks like a winner to me! :)Paulette

Heidi Sands January 15, 2022 at 1:13 PM Powerful, so sad and true. Well done! I hope you have a nice evening :)

Michelle Faulkner January 15, 2022 at 12:45 PM Words can hurt more than anything else, this is so sensitive to that pain, I have known that myself sometimes too~ L Milton Hankins January 15, 2022 at 2:22 PM I couldn't agree more, Charlie. Karma is a *itch! And she will repay those who do not give her respect. Charles Messina January 15, 2022 at 12:56 PM Aww, sorry Michelle. I think most of us have been bullied by someone sometime in our lives. Don't worry, I believe the bullies will get it in the end. What comes around- goes around. Hugs Charlie
