                                            Manipulative 
                                            and arrogant
                                          Simply because
                                    someone wants and can
                                   - only their own interests 
                                            in this world
                                     Strong need to impress
                                   and be admired by others
                                       - Avoids side views,
                                           horses blinders

Duke Beaufort April 27, 2025 at 7:55 AM Anne-Lise...we definitely need to understand people like this and do our best to keep them in check (maybe even in prison if necessary). My preference would be psychotherapy for all of them. It would make sense to spend on that rather than on fighting. Smiles!!

Hilda Greenhough April 26, 2025 at 4:43 PM A great poem. These people are why naive people were invented. But I'm learning.

Michael Tor April 25, 2025 at 7:37 PM Love this one Anne-Lise sounds like a Narcissist to me. Favoring this one...

Andrea Dietrich April 24, 2025 at 1:37 PM along with the picture, you paint a vision of a crappy individual!

Joseph P. DiMino April 24, 2025 at 5:21 AM Yep, take the blinders off -- introduce yourself to the ignorant jockey whipping you raw. Well said.

Sotto Poet April 23, 2025 at 12:51 PM It is lamentable that such an individual exists, Anne-Lise; however, your poem eloquently portrays the essence of the term. Anne-Lise Andresen April 23, 2025 at 1:00 PM - With caution... so I don't step on anyone's toes, Las :) - Many thanks for your comment :) - hugs

Lin Lane April 23, 2025 at 11:43 AM That poor.... thing. Better take care not to nod or his nose might puncture his tummy. I'm assuming it's a male just cuz. Anne-Lise Andresen April 23, 2025 at 12:02 PM - A "he" in a camouflage suit... rarely nods...if "he" does, it really explodes Lin :) - Thank you for your comment :) - hugs

Jay Narain April 23, 2025 at 10:46 AM Your meaningful with thw picture shows the personality of such a person. Nice work. Anne-Lise Andresen April 23, 2025 at 10:48 AM - Thank you for making me laugh, Jay :) - The figure is really meaningful :))) - hugs

Susan Ashley April 23, 2025 at 10:02 AM Dear Anne-Lise, your verse captures the meaning of your title with vibrant imagery so sad in the reality that such a "someone" exists. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan Anne-Lise Andresen April 23, 2025 at 10:18 AM - I read something about unsympathetic personality traits, such as selfishness, malice or psychopathy, being closely connected in a common dark core ... a frightening post to read ... was inspired to write a little about it ... tried to "soften" it with a "fun figure", Susan :) - Thank you for reading :) - hugs

Kim Rodrigues April 23, 2025 at 5:48 AM Such strong imagery in this poem! Sadly! Very well done! Anne-Lise Andresen April 23, 2025 at 5:59 AM - Thank you for your comment, Kim :) - hugs
