Congratulations on your POTD Tania. Well spoken. A friend's betrayal is indeed a devastating experience, one that you have so perfectly articulated through your metaphor and imagery. Blessings.

"Phony Facade" better than "two-faced"? Congrats on POTD, Tania.

Jan, thank you, a pleasant surprise.

David Kavanagh

June 10, 2023 at 1:32 AM

Excellent Limerick Tania! One with real meaning and biting truth, it really is deplorable behaviour to falsely befriend an individual only to attack them, but it happens here pretty regularly, they really need to get a life, congratulations on POTD, I’m green with envy did you steal it from me while I slept, oops my true colours are showing lol, cheers David

June 10, 2023 at 7:15 AM

David, your true colors do not include the green-eyed monster of jealousy like the one who throws daggers.

June 10, 2023 at 5:54 AM

yeah the daggers are out (covertly) in one of their latest efforts but I wont reciprocate but you need to read between the lines as it will go over the head of many

David Kavanagh

June 10, 2023 at 4:15 AM

I understand Jan, I do try read between the lines, but a lot goes over my head, sometimes I can only see it when it’s pointed out to me, typical man! Cheers David

June 10, 2023 at 3:57 AM

David, love your humor, thank you.

June 10, 2023 at 1:57 AM

Folk need to read between the lines and the lies David. Hugs jan xx

You have always defended your friends Tania. I’m making this a favorite too.

June 9, 2023 at 10:42 AM

Mark, thank you.

June 9, 2023 at 4:35 AM

Good morning, Tania. Those verbal daggers are like sticks and stones that are thrown, but hurled from the pen of a pretender, they don’t hurt me, only her reputation. Jan, Sorry the mudslinger lied about you just because you are my friend. Tania , you may be her next target but I am truly grateful to have you and Jan as loyal friends. I’m faving this one.

June 10, 2023 at 7:13 AM

Consider the source, Tania. Nothing a little Tide can't fix.

June 10, 2023 at 4:03 AM

Lin, thank you again, those daggers have also been directed at me as well, the mudslinger can keep slinging, I wash up nicely!

June 10, 2023 at 3:36 AM

I remember you telling me about it and others.

June 10, 2023 at 2:01 AM

he made my life a misery and I gave up writing for a week but lovely friends encouraged me to stay strong and write on.

June 10, 2023 at 2:00 AM

Gee Lin I nearly left in my first month on soup as a guy was so jealous of my popularity with my 'poop poems' over his perfectly penned creations which few read or understood:-(

June 9, 2023 at 6:11 PM

You deserve your place of honor on this site, Jan. You've had more than your share of problems with bullies and trolls. None of which were your fault, and you're still here. Tania and I are with you.

June 9, 2023 at 11:25 AM

our friendship is precious Lin and you and Tania have supported me so much during my absence from soup. the welcome back I have received (on the whole) has been nothing but positive and have spurred me on to continue writing

June 9, 2023 at 10:42 AM

Lin, thank you.

June 9, 2023 at 2:32 AM

Bravo Tania, for someone who was going to let the subject drop and work on their biography they certainly are not true to their word but constantly claim they dont lie. I am saddened they have stooped so low and written a poem aimed at me and another souper . I will keep penning my poop and will never be bullied by anyone here. Hugs Jan x
