Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

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...

Gordon Mcconnell December 28, 2021 at 1:36 PM Nice one Jenna, really enjoyed this one. Hope you had a nice Christmas, every blessing for 2022, Gordon Jenna Logan December 29, 2021 at 6:03 AM Thank you, Gordon. Looking forward to a happy new year.

Alexis Y. December 25, 2021 at 7:53 PM 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 Jenna Logan December 29, 2021 at 6:02 AM It would be much more pleasant, Alexis, but there will always be a few sour grapes in a bunch. Thanks.

Ilene Bauer December 25, 2021 at 1:10 PM well said, jenna! maybe next year will start on a more positive note. we can hope... Jenna Logan December 25, 2021 at 1:24 PM I hope so, Irene. Thanks for commenting.

L Milton Hankins December 25, 2021 at 9:49 AM 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! Jenna Logan December 25, 2021 at 1:23 PM 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. L Milton Hankins December 25, 2021 at 9:57 AM 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!

Charles Messina December 25, 2021 at 4:44 AM There should be a separate site for those... "The MISFIT SITE" So right you are, Jenna. Merry Christmas! Jenna Logan December 25, 2021 at 7:01 AM Not in my house, John. They were too naughty and couldn't get along with the good little boys and girls. John Lawless December 25, 2021 at 6:06 AM Hey.....even the "misfit toys" had their day.... Jenna Logan December 25, 2021 at 5:16 AM Thanks, Charlie. Love the name of that site! What a nasty place that would be. Merry Christmas!

Lin Lane December 25, 2021 at 2:49 AM 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 December 25, 2021 at 5:15 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.

Jan Allison December 25, 2021 at 1:30 AM 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 L Milton Hankins December 25, 2021 at 9:52 AM 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! Jenna Logan December 25, 2021 at 5:11 AM 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? Lin Lane December 25, 2021 at 2:30 AM 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.

Mark Koplin December 24, 2021 at 8:21 PM 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!! L Milton Hankins December 25, 2021 at 9:54 AM 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 December 24, 2021 at 8:28 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 ;)
