Keep Away

For some there always has to be an issue A drama of some sort Always looking for or creating a problem To inject their voice and thoughts Seeming to thrive on conflict Inserting their need for power and control Deriving pleasure from others discomfort Relishing in other individuals anguish to feed their souls!

Deb, you're one of the sweetest poets on the site. I read what someone wrote to you on your poem, 'Keep Away' yesterday. Such comments should not be made and then not explained when the poet asks for it. Instead, another off the wall remark was made, and then deleted. Par for that person's MO. You need not be bothered by people like that who seem to relish throwing barbs and then retrieving them before they're seen by those who believe them to be a good person. Keep Away... how apropos!

Dear Deb, Keep Away hits hard with truth cutting straight to the heart of those who stir the pot just to watch it boil. Your words carry weight, power, and a no-nonsense wisdom. Your words land with impact! Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
