Poetry Troll

If your verse is subpar and your output is low these could be the signs of a poetry troll- Do you spend most of your time stalking blogs launching caustic bits while your quills full of snot- If you get sky high off another muse's low You just might be a poetry troll- Do you fire impotent arrows then cover the quiver when somebody hits back do you tend to shiver. Do you add fresh fruit or rotten to the bowl if it's the latter, you just might be a poetry troll- Do you get jealous when somebody masters a form. or hops on the podium donning their finest haiku bow are you jealous when a poet deftly weaves ink into snow if so.... you just might be a poetry troll- When a muse spills their soul for the whole world to see do you respond in kindness or get off watching them sink. when your games are unveiled and its your time to go are you already plotting another sneak attack incognito if so...you just might be a poetry troll- Do you really want your gravestone to bellow. "Nothing down here but an old poetry troll".

made me smile Anthony I wonder which troll you have in mind, there are several who like to stir the pot to boiling point then look like butter wouldn't melt in their mouth and a perpetual stalker has raised her ugly head again but I've warned the guy she targeted!:-( hope all is good with you:-) hugs Jan xx

What has been coming to mind over and over is the line from Blade Runner, "How can it not know what it is." xomo
