-the Poet Jackal-

It comes with a jagged dagger flashing in the moonlight! 
Teeth, sharp, like a mad dog showing!
Howling with a jackal's gruff, stiff hair in the wind blowing.
To destroy honor and integrity with vicious attacks.
All endless and hurtfully, ongoing.

Humiliating any with its filthy, bloodied, toenails growing.
His path, one drawn by jealousy, and pretentious clown boyishness, a strolling.
Beware this jackal wearing the face of Christ that's throwing....
Comments to harm any loving and truthful poet.
His harm done with evil-spiteful, vicious knowing.

Don't think I have come across this Jackal, but; if the hint is in the line, Beware this Jackal wearing the face of Christ that's throwing, then I think I know who it is, we need to stick together on this one, we are losing some lovely poets & Poetesses here, good on you Panagiota, here speaks a man, not the boy . . . : )

Greetings Indiana.)) yes, we are thinking of same person. He is gone, as far as I know. No reason to leave, nonsense. BTW, every Poetry site has its share of creep-a-zooids. He was not the only one. Concentrate on the good people here. Avoid the problem makers. Thanks for being a man, as you say. Not a boy! Hang it. Write Poetry. Panagiota xx

G'day Panagiota … any action is hoped to get a reaction from these curs. That's their calling, and at times it is just pure jealousy. You keep up your good work Panagiota - Lindsay

I am done with their foolishness. Like bad kids on a playground who are 10 years old Hello? This is an adult site. They need to play in real life. They would lose some teeth. Panagiota xx

- There are so many different types of people ... some are really "sick" ... they have no other "joys" in life than being bullies ... in reality they are "little mice" - A powerfully and well written poem, Panagiota :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Such a brilliantly powerful write dear Panagiota exposing the true menace of such an evil deed. I applaud you dear friend for your honesty and loyalty for all fellow poets. You truly are a legend. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

I had to think before posting this! A legend? Well, I am far from young. )))))) I want poets to not take guff from anyone. I loathed getting attacked in a POTD, most. Never reply to meanness. Go to the main page, find Poet and block. You may get blocked too. So what? Hundreds of poets here. Loyal, kind, Loving. Avoid the arrogant.defintion~ any poet who has stopped reading you. Very nasty, I think. Panagiota xx

You won't meet him...if you do, block him at once. Just be very aware of all posts. If he or she is attacking anyone, you might be next. Panagiota xx

You did amazing at revealing the harm done to many past victims, imho. Dark poetry is by no means an easy thing to compose. You placed truth as the Light that brightly shines my friend! That is the goal. Sad that any person would seek to kill others joy in writing! A fav...

Robert, indeed how painful to see my fellow poets stabbed viciously! Many will say...." Well, it never happened to me!" as if this alleviates the harm one afflicts on a fellow poet-artist! Glad it is a FAV to you, thank you. This is a brotherhood and sisterhood, not a playground for free for all pain.Mucho gracias! Panagiota xx
