To Whom It Applies

All that you despise 
this man who now toys
A human beings eyes 
The void and how it lies

All that you despise 
Quorn covered in flies 
A guy who seems wise
Never winning first prize 

All that you despise 
This irritating noise 
of a rhymester who tries 
His comment that defies 

All that you despise 
those who are baptised 
A will you cannot prise
The US military size

All that you despise 
those of us who rise
Having to break off ties
A poet? now chastised

Shirley Hawkins Date: 1/29/2023 10:06:00 PM We write for pleasure and to try to give pleasure to others. It is not a contest. I am so sad to read this happens on Poet Soup. We are supposed to be pen pals, not enemies. Oh, Dear. Take care, David. Old Duck Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 1/30/2023 2:07:00 AM Sure thing Shirley I too write for pleasure, and put some abstract ideas out there, that make sense to me if nobody else, the one who mocks us with misanthropic nihilism, is no more than a troll, who will be faced down, like I do so here, at my own time of choosing, Take good care, cheers David

Panagiota Romios Date: 1/29/2023 4:52:00 PM Let it roll off your back. Even the saints here will backstab you. Does not matter David be the star you are! Devils posing as saints? And honored as such. Indeed, off their rockers. There are sane and insane people here. Those who care and those who work in groups to toss you off PS, Their halos shine bright but are as black as ignite coal.)))) Be joyful, Panagiota xo Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 1/30/2023 12:59:00 AM Off their rockers indeed Pangie, the one this is aimed at likes to mock us with nihilistic satire, just because we’re human, so occasionally I fire a few shots across their bow, to let them know, I’m not intimidated by their antics, but hey I’m like that in real life, if I’m disrespected by arrogant ones I let them know exactly what I think of them, but indeed I am joyful most of the time, cheers David

Tom Cunningham Date: 1/27/2023 12:10:00 AM Typical trolling again, hiding behind a screen, they're like moles on your lawn whack one and then another appears. Greetings from Woburn Forest. Tom Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 1/27/2023 6:02:00 AM Aye it’s a troll to be sure Tom, it’s eating itself alive with hatred Tom, nothing to offer the living so now digs up the dead, cheers David

Terry Flood Date: 1/26/2023 3:36:00 PM I can’t quite recall Soup’s own words, but they say something like ‘offer encouragement and say what you enjoyed’… I take that to mean ‘if you have nothing constructive to say… shut the f*** up’. I don’t get how this bullying/ridicule is allowed to continue: is Soup asleep at the wheel? Nicely called out David. Terry Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 1/26/2023 3:56:00 PM So true Terry, I love to have a bit of banter with most people on the soup, but this hateful mocking goes on unchallenged by Soup, so like you said I see it, and call it out, no appeasement or looking the other way, thanks so much for stopping by and making a stand, cheers David

Jenna Logan Date: 1/26/2023 8:05:00 AM I comprehend, David. I wrote a little something out of respect for those who have been/are being maligned. There are stark changes here lately, and none for the betterment of the site. Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 1/26/2023 9:27:00 AM Always on the ball Jenna, so many poets are being mocked here on the soup by the stark eyed one and they don’t realise it, even the recently deceased are vilified and desecrated by the loser, how cowardly is that, cheers David
