Stop Snivelling, Poet

I saw you crying, next to the bubbling brook.. Taken again, eh? You really are a shnook! Trusting new friends, my, you are dumb! You have less brains than a fat, ripe plum People are on the take, when will you get it? No wonder, lost soul, you are in the pits. Poetry is absolutely no place for you. False words are daily fare, here, too. Welcome to a world of trophies and disguises. You are dense, seeking friendship in prizes? When will you stop believing? This is but a game of words, deceiving. I know you will write your truth again. Just like a no-brains, rattled old hen. 5/2/2023

Great poem. If we aren't writing for enjoyment, then why bother? Of course others may not like it. It doesn't matter, nobody hits home runs every time. Stay Creative. Xo

Always good to give ourselves a good roasting now and then (old hen) Pangie, I’ve also taken myself to task in many of my poems, knowing one is far from perfect, is cathartic and humbling in itself, cheers David

Maturity brings humility, I see that in you. Huzzah.. In Public, it’s not that easy. Boasting like a rooster is obnoxious. Seeking the adulation of the crowd is immaturity. Watch me win, attitude, I mean.poets like to be appreciated as is. Anyway, this old hen sees, and you agreed poet and human being. Pangie

What is supposed to be a poetry site is often a battleground some people need to grow up Its no wonder people leave never to return. Tom

I was making fun of me,iyou got that,right.? A poetry site is not a site for gods, just a reflection of the world.with all its love and hate. We are not on Mt.Olympus. I am thinking of leaving also but there are people like you, here that bring me back. Thank you. I have been punched sure ..but I learned how to not bc a speed bump)) Pangie

I am glad yo have the heart and mind to see it for what it is. It is an insult to me first and foremost. I am way too trusting. It was funny to me. People can present themselves as sweetnils here. I forever fall into their trap. Old hen Pangie . Never learns. Cluck cluck. Even my cat likes this poem. She gave me a trophy…a gold mouse…named Mazel Mouse. Pangie xx Mouse

Too many shots across too many bows. Deception and bullying need to stop on Soup BECAUSE this might be one of the few places people can fellowship thru beauty and intelligent imagination. Too few days, too many feuds. Push on, Pangie, and post wonder and charm and romance...as we all should.
