Dick the Bully

I had not been on another poetry site even a week And I’ve already crossed paths with a bully A self appointed “Professor of Poetry” it seems Who spews 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 they may be Not for judgement, accolades or contests Just for the joy of poetry Being hurtful , rude and insensitive Arrogant, intimidating and outright unkind Does not make you knowledgeable or gifted Or a poet of any kind DICK ….your words do not impact me For I am strong and your words meaningless and weak My concern is for the young , fragile and 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 …..
