I have seen a lot of trolls on other poetry sites. That's why plenty of them are no longer in existence. Good write.

People that do those evil deeds are like the trolls from some tales that were told to or read to children by adults who thought they were good reading. LOL..Creative winner we have here. Way to go. Congrats. Sara

’though trolls are faceless twits (if only the rules allowed a line eight). Great use of the letter T... totally terrific I’d testify. Best of luck in contest Jan. Terry

Hi Jan, What a clever way to letter “T” in the Pleiades contest. I say let the trolls stay in books or the movies. The trolls you speak of need to get a life. And stop lurking around places where they are not wanted. It's a good contender. Best wishes in the contest. Have a great day:-) Alexis

Thanks Alexis sadly we still see them lurking on the internet-( hugs jan xx

What a fantastic idea Jan for the T Pleiades contest, at least the folklore ones showed their face now and again, not like the worms on the internet, that stay hidden in the soil, good luck in the contest, cheers David

Thanks David I wanted to try and show the various meanings to the troll word, the internet trolls must be pretty sick folk to deliberately cause such misery to others, one day karma may go round and bite them in the bum:-) hugs jan xx

Yeah lol the Scandinavian ones live under bridges, the internet ones hide behind keyboards and fake personas:-( hugs Jan xx
