Judy Ball Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Some people just like to cause others trouble. They don't have any particular reason for it. They just think it makes them look big and smart and "in the know" when actually they don't know much; but they try to spread rumors or make someone look small or stupid in order to make themselves look "big" and try to make others look down on their target as well. People like that never really make any friends and if by chance they happen to move away nobody ever misses them.

The Bully

Sparkle, sparkle little twink,
Who the heck you are I think.
How you love to rave and shout.
It matters not what it's about.

You think you look so big and scary,
But like most boars just big and hairy.
You're just making lots of noise,
Throwing fits like little boys.

You pick on those who can't fight back.
You cause them grief and give no slack.
You think you look so big and smart,
But all you show is a small, cruel heart.

So can the chatter and shut the trap,
'Cause like most gossips you're full of crap.
People like you get old real fast,
But like most blocks this too shall pass.

Alexis Y. September 7, 2021 at 6:50 PM Hi Judy, Good verse about a “ Bully.” I agree with your every word. The sad truth is, most bullies were once the victim of bullying themselves. Well done.

L Milton Hankins September 6, 2021 at 4:22 PM Unfortunately, Judy, your poem is so true. Especially when someone is blocked and cannot respond to the one who is bullying them, it is a bad situation. That is the case with Poetry Soup so many times. Someone will block you and then hammer away at you. I have learned to just let it go and not give them my energy. Good poem, by the way! L Milton Hankins September 7, 2021 at 9:12 AM So sorry you had to go through that! I despise bullying. Had enough of it when I was a kid and in high school. Never ever again will I allow someone try to control me with bullying! Judy Ball September 6, 2021 at 9:39 PM Thanks so much Milton. Wrote this about someone who used to give me grief at work for no reason. He was told on three different occasions by mgs. to leave me alone. Finally he quit and went somewhere else and no one even cared he was gone. Guess he got tired of trying to find someone to listen to his lies about me. God Bless, JB
