-Dick the Bully

I had not been on another poetry site even a week
And l had already crossed paths with a bully 
A self appointed “Professor of Poetry” it seems
Who spewed out rude comments regularly

Now, I don’t know your name
So I will  call you Richard 
(DICK for short!)
Insulting  and belittling
Others poems and effort
Is not called advice or support!

Now DICK, some of us just like to write poems
Simple though that may be
Not for judgement or accolades
Just for the joy of poetry

Being hurtful , rude and insensitive 
Arrogant, intimidating and just unkind
Does not make you knowledgeable or gifted 
Or a poet of any kind

DICK ….your words have no impact on me
 I am strong and your words meaningless and weak
My concern is for the young  or vulnerable 
Who may be affected or scarred by this garbage you speak
 
DICK ….. I suspect you think you are superior 
Intelligent and of a better class
But DICK I think you are doing a handstand 
And talking out your ar*e

Who gave you the right to be so judgemental
To think it’s ok to humiliate and be cruel
DICK you just make yourself look like 
An absolute DICK fool …..
