I Am a Beast

I'll never hide behind words of God. I'm standing right here, not blocking my blog. I've been dealt many blows, by better than you. Bring it on Rocky, you're a paper champion to. You float like a butterfly, but you don't sting like a bee. You fall to the ground, like the leaf of a tree. Keep it here, I'm up for your best. As long as you focus on me, the others can rest. You have bitten off, more than you can chew. You have the ball, let's see what you can do. The redneck poet, his bulldog unleashed. I have no fear, I am a beast.

I'm in shock, how can you be a bully on a poetry site, surely you are just shaming yourself in trying to bring someone else down . . . : /

Your message is a little unclear. Do you think I'm a bully? If so I am very sorry.

"the redneck poet" - I love that! I am from all of the redneck states, and understand it can be a compliment.

Now the theme from 'Rocky' is spinnin' round my head. You're quite an entertainer with your phrases. I think I still like one of your poems in which you used the phrase, "sugar britches."

As my dad used to say... even a blind sow finds an ear of corn once in a while.

I welcome all comments, beware I will not sugar coat my feelings on bullies and trolls. The time has come to take a stand.

It's funny how bullies react when you bring it to them 10 fold. They are cowards.
