I Am Anaya Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

The Creek was created to discourage certain poets who are targeted. I was cordially invited to join, I had a go and had some fun, until I realized this just wasn't right. The cruel verses used were alarming and hurtful to others. I stepped off. This is an encouraging site for poets who are here to learn forms and make friends, not the opposite. If you' feel you are beng harrassed and would like more infomation on this subject please soupmail me.

Deception In Soup Creek

Deception In Soup Creek

There once was a town called Soup Creek amiable and quaint
Filled with all these characters, a perfect picture they'd paint
It was founded to protect the innocent
Where one was welcome to come visit
A bold western saga exquisite
A Mayor, a Sheriff, a saloon proprietor 
A bar owner, also a realtor
What comes next you can’t make it up, is true                                              
A charlatan Sheriff who already knew
The saloon owner was a phony too

This is the tale what we thought a young fem, 
Claimed she was being stalked by men
who used different user names 
All the while she was doing the same
Many here feel used by her deception
Manipulated for her own protection
Even I was dragged in
To keep the adventure going
I was a bit overzealous
Got a vibe she was jealous
Cause I added a twist
And then there’s this…

Whose face is it?
Someone off the internet
Identity theft is what I saw
Or is madam above the law
I uncovered a foul devious charade
Just ego and hubris on parade
Meanwhile she had
Told a few folks who also were played

Madam’s her old self, and is back
With fists ready to attack
Writing about the value of friends
Pshaw, a victim again, it never ends
I don’t have the time for this
I’ll give it to you quick, Ma`am, Miss
What were you thinking, is it mental illness?
Tell the saloon owner, who invites us in for a drink
What in heavens name would Milton think?
I know I should move on gracefully
But it just didn't settle right with me
If lies and deception are your lot
At least you can try better not to get caught

Robert Gorelick August 13, 2024 at 10:52 AM Good update! What do you call a snake that is a great liar? A hisstory teller! Robert Gorelick August 13, 2024 at 11:20 AM Lol, Tom I Am Anaya August 13, 2024 at 10:57 AM Oh my, delving into the cunning core of deception humor aye. Why did the fake plant never get caught? Because it was a master of dis-leaf-ment! Glad you got my update. This certain individual Tom speaks of, (I learned all this year) has a young at heart personality, droll witted and awesome poet and friend to many here. He spreads the Gospel. So, as the saying goes "Mean people suck!" I think that some need to hate on others, it's in their nature and themselves call their group the mean women and men's club. This is an update of what I have researched on this story.

Robert Gorelick May 16, 2023 at 5:50 PM This a very underhanded way for a poet to behave, her deception is unforgettable. I Am Anaya May 16, 2023 at 5:55 PM Dear Robert, what's really sad is that I joined PS because it is a warm and caring community for poets to come together through the contests and comments. I was fooled and many others as well, when someone who has two accounts and deceits' with a fake profile. I especially feel for Milton, he was fooled until the very end. She never showed remorse until then this poem on deception shall stay. She had been elated with all the attention she was getting, when trying to get the Dingo kid banished... she was banished instead. She is back using her old account.

Stephan McBride May 13, 2023 at 5:23 AM Does this mean Jenna will no longer be writing ,unless a new one arises Tom Cunningham May 17, 2023 at 12:30 AM I'm afraid that's not the case Anaya, the Creek story came about because a certain individual returned and was stirring the soup bowl. I was protecting no one. Tom I Am Anaya May 13, 2023 at 7:54 AM Thanks for your concern Stephan. Soup Creek was invented by Tom Cunningham to protect the poetess, she who claimed of being stalked by guys, she is a creation of an elder poetess here. Not too many poets knew this, especially Milton, Tom knowing, emailed her when she was locked out. A sad hoax!. We'll see what Tom decides to do.

Tom Cunningham May 3, 2023 at 12:22 AM Well I'll admit it came as a bit of a shock but I think it's best that all concerned try and put it behind us and move on, I know some might struggle to accept it but lifes too short to bear grudges and what's done is done. PS is not a battleground and we should use it to read and write poetry. By the way it's Milton Creek not Soup Creek lol. Tom I Am Anaya August 13, 2024 at 7:20 AM I'm back with an update, Sir Tom. I am happy to see that Milton Creek, formerly Soup Creek has changed, no longer do I see any harm or hurtful verse targeting other poets. Thank you for that. If anyone has any questions on being harassed and or targeted, please soupmail me. I Am Anaya May 17, 2023 at 8:24 AM Thank you, Sir Tom for keeping us posted. Be Well! I Am Anaya May 3, 2023 at 9:39 AM Thank you, Tom, I agree! I'm moving on to the friends I left behind! The tides which ebbed, now freely to more friendly and welcoming shores— let us celebrate together on the warm sands of friendship—Anaya :)

Alexis Y. May 2, 2023 at 1:16 PM Anaya, I have made choices that I felt I had to make at the time. Folk didn't understand why I did. I'm not perfect ( no one is). With that being said, I see why you are frustrated, but we all must give each other a bit more grace and not judge. Try to gain an understanding and in turn, show support. PS, this site is primarily about poetry. Writing it and sharing. I try to stay away from drama. I have too much drama in real life-Alexis I Am Anaya May 2, 2023 at 2:01 PM Dear Alexis, yes, that's all I have done is shown support, I will not judge anyone, I promise! Let's learn more type forms, I'm all in. I love PS. It is a warm and caring place!

Victor Buhagiar May 2, 2023 at 11:45 AM Brilliant write. I Am Anaya May 2, 2023 at 12:27 PM Thank you, Victor! A gifted membership unknowingly? She otta be ashamed!

Ilene Bauer May 2, 2023 at 11:02 AM wow! this whole thing is so confusing to me, anaya! i was unaware of all this as it was going on and only recently found out a tiny part of it, but it has obviously affected you very deeply and you've expressed your frustration very well. i don't know what to think. i guess it's better to just stick to reading the poems without knowing the drama behind them... I Am Anaya May 2, 2023 at 12:26 PM Me too, Ilene, I was going over the details, and although it doesn't make me feel any better, it's a message I must send off., I left a few friends here because of her deception. It's an opportunity to rekindle friendships I left behind. I will move on of course and write pieces on my autobiography.
