To Destroy A Fellow Poet, But Why

I have seen this phenomenon, all my life. Pride is cruel, aged by the dark sin of vanity Within humans, such needless, painful strife. It seems to plague us, on all levels of humanity. I know you are writing poetry and doing your best Coming here strictly to be your fine, expressive self. Yet to some, you shall never, never pass their test? Remember, you are a poet and not a doll on a shelf! 8/21/2024 @Panagiota Romios

Hi Pangie, there are some two faced people on here, don't let them get to you, the bad things they say is a reflection of them not you. I enjoy reading your poems you speak the truth, God bless you.

No John I have not. I have been down this road before. Because I am not a sheep, I am a target. Thats ..OK. Bring on slingshots. Groupish bullets dont scare me! They bounce off my chest. I am Wonder Woman in the flesh.lOL. Truth or taling about reality is verboten here. Pangie.

I feel we are here to support each other. As you know, I feel both good/bad words are very powerful. Say something nice/make someones day. How about a smile??? Give a smile out/make someones day. They are free. "Smile" "Smile" Have a blessed day................

To each his own, so don't discard anyone's effort. I had an old book of Beatnik poems that I loved (now lost). The crazier, the better.

Can poetic trolls even be poetic? Mechanics is not poetic expression. Provocative piece, Pangie. :>))

Arlo, I dont get destruction. Unfortunately, it exists. I like your word, “provocative!” i dont thimk poetry was ever meant to besweet as candy. Only brave souls will have yje courage to respond to this poem. Soldiers for the good life, eill They are the fearless ones. Thank all of you. Pangie

There are a few idiots on here, best ignored or use the block feature. And if people have nothing good to say then they should keep it shut. Tom

Hello, “Traveling Tom”. In fact the world is awash in idiots and the media turns them into heros and heroines. It is sheer madness! No need to make saints of any poets.. this is a democracy. And…absolutely, none of us are saints or philosopher kings. Harming other poets is a mental illness, some delight in! I agree say something good. But do not hurt any poet. Be no party in harming another. Small minds make small poets Pangie Great seeing you again )))))

in a previous life I was "the elf on the shelf". It was tedious work but times were tough and work hard to find. In this life I am a poet, I answer to no one and refuse sobriety tests although I do appreciate "critiques" as I have developed a very tough poetic hide....

Dear Elf, who tranformed into the Lawless one!so refreshing to know you have a thick poetic hiide. People do not like those who are so developed, bullets fly off their chest! Conformity is forever hounding me. And no, I will not bend!That is when roaches crawl out of the woodwork , disguised as so called “people “crushers, no matter where we are! in life.You know what I mean. Poetic hides are a must. Appreciatively, Pangi

Dear Pangie, what a great poem and yes, we are here to show our passion and love for the things we write about, regardless of what others might criticize. I have always appreciated your poems because they show much passion, candor, and truth. - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Dear Daniel, your support is always appreciated! Many have contributed to the formation of who I am. All of them stressed candor, no matter what the cost in all areas of my life. So, you will find me being me. For better or worse! People are not saints.I,being one of them. I wish I could write as ee cummings did.”For life is not a paragraph, and death is no parenthesis.” A dear friend got me into self-actualization.and I took a course in at the U of Chicago. Contributing to life, is my goal. You bring out the best in me.. Love be yours~~Daniel! Pangie
