The Jealous Poet

Giving beats getting, I have found. Get off feeling so sorry for yourself. I mean, seriously, where is your gratitude with all those trophies on your self? You avoid your poet friends that love you? Avoiding their hundreds of poems. Think...what does this say about you? No wonder you feel so alone! 8/27/2021 3

My friend, your verses always relay truth. And your heart obeys its true poetic callings. This poem speaks about jealousy that many poets have. A fav.. God bless...

there is a lot of jealousy here, that is for sure. It's very sad. Keep up your writing, pangie. I especially love when you speak out about your politics.

Hi Andrea, we rarely read each other but we do email On shared ideas. Works for me, very well. As long as this site is like a wrestling match, there will be animus! I really give a hoot about number of comments. Give them a gold star and be done with it)) is this a poetry or comment making and comment collecting site? I have seen sires with no such board...and comments run in 100/s plus contests with no placements or trophies And no muxic or funky graphics. People are not jealous or s Ite ful of form groups or cliques, Pangie

Hi Panagiota, jealously has no place in poetry, and there’s no trophy in envy. Take care, love Belle

How can we prevent jealousy in poetry, Poets can love each other, despise each other and indeed jealousy jumps in as in all areas of life. We are not dead and far from saints. I think trophies, charts, the upper 100 need all stop. But then, Belle, I am weird! I do realize some adore competing and gamesmanship. I keep my nose out,it Works 4 me, a POTD, or POTW is fine. Love your swing there is no trophy in envy. True.Pangie xx

Panagiota, God help me, I love it. No matter your verse showers tepid or cold, nor the swift waters run clear or inky in darkness, I find myself bathing in it. -Richard

Oh, I am falling in love with you, dear Richard..I need all the support I can get before I leave! I loathe murky poetry that says nothing. Ugh. Nothing beautiful. Truth is beauty, I hate plastic poems. Pangie

Helllo Mohammed...it's just how I see things. Others feel this is heaven on earth. There are some wonderful people here... Self pity is not good! Panagiota.
