Hadn't seen this one earlier when you wrote it, Pangie. I had to look "Sychophants" up to see if it was a creative new word and poem. It was real and the poem describe the type well. I find, many times people that appear to be sychophants are not aware of what they are doing. Strong Acrostic poem, my friend. Bill

There’s a whole group of new poem…bill.., I like you! One reason is I sense you are kind and genuine…lin the world, there are people who like me and those who do not. I will never read a poet…out to destroy me. Why! I tell the truth too often. Not everyone here is nice. Many are. Internet life is odd. I trusted too much when I got here….I hope your Saea is well. I am glad Anaya POTW last week. How nice it’s a beautiful tribute to yours truly, Ayana has soul! Panagiota

Greetings, RJ. It warms my heart to have you see the purpose of this acrostic. I can keep rolling as I consider poetry the point of this site. All the rest is fluff and vanity. I think of that childrens thale, but in my own words… “”Mirror,mirror on the wall, who writes the most poems and comments of all..and trophies “as if that made them Poet Laureates! I can’t imagine writing only to win. That’s a tad weird.but it’s their choice, Pangie Poet Laureates!

You nailed this one Pangie, perhaps more than you’ll ever know, such is life on the soup, I suppose I’m in there somewhere on any given day of the week, Payback, Harmful, Enemies, yes I’m guilty as charged, what a super Acrostic, cheers David

Sweet thing you are! We cannot change others, but we CAN change ourselves. I guess PRIDE cometh before the fall? How about we just pen “excellent” in a comment! Nope, too many syllables. Try a first grade primer on one syllable adjectives? I screech when I see those. Poets write super poetry.. The best are avoided.it’s shameful to me. Why not stoop low and write GOOD OR THANKS! You have class David. We even are so in a rush to climb the CommunityBoard, we leave off with no close and no name. We are not bards.I expect no support for my POV. We use only 5 syllable words for a POTD? I’m all for more poetry..not poets commenting. Most do not. Poetry is an art form not a game. Better no first grade words in comnents.look up new words…and that dreadful excuse..” I am supporting others, really! Really? Cheers, David. You do shine! Pangie
