Ps News: Christmas Edition

Christmas edition of PS News is out, and here's the scoop Poets are climbing the rungs of ladders on Poetry Soup It's not an easy feat; one to be applauded and praised instead of opposed, demeaned, or by jealous ones, razed Why bother looking at lists if you find them to be galling? Frankly, I find one with such an attitude to be appalling. Remember that Santa makes lists. Two of them, in fact and you'll be on top of his naughty list if you overreact Stop being so gosh darn negative about petty trivialities We are not alike. We have many different personalities So stop whining about poets who like to write for contests You will surely find a lump of coal in your stocking, unless...

Hi Jenny, If one wants to a “grump” they need to leave this “SoupVille” community. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. Blessings always:-)Alexis

It would be much more pleasant, Alexis, but there will always be a few sour grapes in a bunch. Thanks.

Fantastic write, Jenna! The message is clear. Not everyone on here is alike, but we all have some merit. Although, in a few people, I find it difficult to recognize. Oh, well....Merry Christmas, everyone!

Ice cold heart? Do I need to guess who's pen wrote such nonsense? Thanks for trying to find the good in everyone, but in a few, it takes a lot of searching.

P.S., I understand now that I have an "ice cold heart!" Wow, never in a million years..."and I should soon depart." Well, after all, I am 80!

There should be a separate site for those... "The MISFIT SITE" So right you are, Jenna. Merry Christmas!

Not in my house, John. They were too naughty and couldn't get along with the good little boys and girls.

Hey.....even the "misfit toys" had their day....

Thanks, Charlie. Love the name of that site! What a nasty place that would be. Merry Christmas!

Jenna, you’re correct in that people have different personalities. Not everyone chooses to take part in contests, so I’m wondering why being on lists is in the news. Lol now that’s fake news! I would bet that many here don’t even know they exist. Someone or another always finds something to complain about. It’s all irrelevant, or should be.

Jenna Logan
Date: 12/25/2021 5:15:00 AM

I dunno, Lin. Perhaps they're jealous, knowing they can't write well enough to be on contest winning lists, or maybe they aren't socially nice enough to make positive comments to as many as others. Baffling and a bit of the Grinch spirit...all year round.

LOL Jenna, I was shocked to see Milton say he usually gains weight over this period, I had it on good authority he never had time for eating only for commenting lol:-) hugs Jan xx

I know, Jan. I hardly have any time for things like eating and sleeping because I'm on this mad rush to the top of a list. Hey, get out of my way...I'm in a hurry! LMAO! Merry Christmas, Jan!

You should eat some of that candy Milt has been overeating, Jan. Knowing how generous he is, I'm sure he's shared it with you. I agree with Lin. I don't understand why people have to continually find fault with others here. I think something a little worse than coal should fill the stockings of people who like to poop on others. Catch my intention?

Oh, Jan! That was false information. Just look at his avatar to see how happy and healthy that charming man is. Some people need more beauty sleep then others.

Awesome Jenna!! Love the message! Too many poets here get jealous and bitter. I’m always on the naughty list but I won’t cry about it. Break a leg!!

I can't imagine you being on a naughty list, Mark. Standing up for what you believe and facing down bullies is hardly naughty behavior, in my opinion. Merry Christmas!

Jenna Logan
Date: 12/24/2021 8:28:00 PM

Mark, I don't think you'll be on Santa's naughty list. You merely defend the innocent, so Santa will fill your stocking with smiles from all those who appreciate you! Have a great day tomorrow. Hugs to you ;)
