Grumbler

Woe to the ones with a sour attitude Those who grumble in mumbled words so rude Their poems sour the air When one wrote of the 'Herr' I've grown tired of this silly childish feud

I grumble because when I write a good but a trifle long story, every one ignores it. So should I write useless haiku since I'm not much good at them?

Some people don’t want to take the time to read a lengthy poem. Their loss to miss out on great poetry.

I have tried to remain distant, but some things must be addressed when my character and religion are attacked.

Okay, but I’ve got a question, are you twelve? If you’re so offended and outraged WHY do you and others keep reading her posts and, more importantly, keep writing your retorts in some sort of schoolyard spat. We get it, it’s like watching Mean Girls lol. Apart from your equally silly besties on this site I think it’s fair to say that this “feud” has become tiresome to the rest of us. Can we expect another tirade tomorrow or will you just move on?

When I joined up I got a few soupmails warning me about the crèche mentality of some members but I didn't expect this. And who is Keith for goodness sakes? Forget it, I couldn't care less. I've got better ways to spend my time.

You were tiresome, Keith, the minute you hit the site under a new name. Why can't you get a life? If you don't like our posts, don't read them. It's that simple. Obviously, you love the "feud," as you put it. But, remember, it's not a feud, it's a fight for the integrity of this site, which you obviously care nothing about. You only show up here to stir more of your crap! Enough for you!

Hey voodoo child, i think it’s time you go lay by your dish and stay the hell away from Jenna. What did she do to you to warrant your big mouth opening here?

If you find my writings and those of my friends silly, why then do you read us and bother commenting? Tiresome tirades must be to your liking. And from the mindset of one who calls himself a voodoo child, you choose to compare us to mean girls?

Hi Jena, This place is not for sour attitudes. It’s a place to write and share poetry. Anything else is uncalled for. I echo what Tom said;-) Alexis

Yep. That’s the way it should be here, but a few rotten apples are trying to spread their mold among poets. Thank you. Alexis.

Karma has an answer, e.g., Mitch McConnell did not believe in Climate Change until the climate changed in Kentucky yesterday . . . . . .

A 250-mile-wide tornado in December is a CHANGE. "Facts matter!" . . . .

I think you will find the weather changed in Kentucky, not the climate. Facts matter.
