Inspired by some instagram trolls that keeps trolling.. reason im no longer active there. I had fun trying this cute form. 

Troll footle

scrolling 
      trolling

clicking
      tricking

to cheat
      deceit 

snitches
     glitches 

lame game
     for fame 

peeving
     thieving

maybe
    they’ll see

jester
    fester

traitor
   baiter

drama
   mama

dressed in
          satin

green grime
         cold crime

     loner
         moaner

Ugh, the pangs of it all, Ink Empress. There's been a rash of Medicare 2024 sales pitching being batted about that forced me to update my iPhone to automize them to my voicemail that cause their immediate hangup. Sneaky gremlins prepetually create new phone numbers instantaneously as this new alert system automize their numbers to block & phishing making it null & void. Well, my friend, complimentaries naturally extends your way 'Hawaiian Style'. Aloha, William

You did the story teller way with your footles. That's a hard way to do them too. I love reading footles. You did super!

Interesting poem form, I'm not familiar with it but it is quite fun. It's not easy to take positives out of negatives but you've turned bad experience around and produced something exciting, something now to put in your toolbox and use to your advantage

This! Your pairings makes it known just what you’re trying to express! Just brilliant my beautiful soul sis! I just love the sarcasm of it all and the fun words you’ve used and the rhymes! It’s such a breath of fresh air reading this for more reasons than one, but because I know this isn’t your usual way of writing and it’s so new—I’m loving this! Your diversity is soul hitting! And yes, this describes exactly how people can make one feel..unnecessarily. This piece is so fun and light, despite!

Dear Ink, These are some truly remarkable pairs. You did an excellent job. You have crafted a stunning set of footles that match perfectly. I really loved "Drama Momma" and "green grime cold crime" Brian will surely like this. BOL in the contest

We have just had a horrible incident without our family(in-law) from someone deceiving our family member and getting money from them until they were penniless and desperate. She committed suicide was the way the family found out about it. I think the person who did it should be found and charged with murder. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara

Dear Sara, how traumatizing and haunting is that, im so sorry your family went through that and lost your loved ones because of trolls, yes so many cat fishing and manipulating vulnerable individuals its sad reality of social media, and its hard to even find them unless they have an instagram account i know few that can help in such situations, to find their location. Im so sorry once again, and thank you for sharing your experience with us. Sending your family light and strength during this time
