Wait, What

It's a melodrama. Try to picture the drama queen
A bit actress lying on the floor in her final scene
Her lips trembling, tears running down her face
ruining her makeup in a gown of satin and lace

You won't win any Oscars, Honey. Not this time
Take lessons, hon. You can't act worth a dime
She's quick to blame everyone, but not herself
She claims innocence, but she's an imp, an elf

She's been insulted, but that's a falsified claim
Seriously, is she for real, or is warring her game?
No one has called her cruel names, not one of us
She's just a sad soul to have created such a fuss

Some poets are thin-skinned and misunderstand
that comments made are not given as a reprimand
But lo and behold... she sure came out swinging
like a bat out of hell with her accusations slinging

So lady poet, try and get a good grip on your life
No one is out to get you or cause you bitter strife
No one has rattled your cage or crushed your soul
and no one is bullying you with the acts of a troll

Your mean-spirited diatribes should reach an end
Maybe then you'll feel better; able to comprehend
You keep blowing a whistle without a good reason
and you've made yourself a victim of poetic treason

I'm wondering why you think your views are fine
and I should not be allowed to give voice to mine.
I didn't call you ugly names, neither of us did that
so stop clawing at us like some hissy spitting cat

It haunts you like shadows inside your imagination
So let it go and stop the outlandish discrimination
Don't you see that the delusions inside your head
are figments in your mind; things that you dread?

William Darnell Sr Date: 8/22/2021 9:58:00 PM Hi, Jenna! Whoa, what did I walk into here? We have an ill-spirited poet running around here or what, making accusations? Not cool, not cool at all. I had to read everything before making my comment, and I choose to stay out of that. Jenna, sorry for your troubles, and you too, Milton. BTW, excellent penning here; I enjoyed reading the melodrama. Do we have an encore? Perhaps you need me to bust em up for you two? LOL Best of Wishes, William Login to Reply Jenna Logan Date: 8/23/2021 2:07:00 AM Good morning, William. Not getting involved with bigoted people is always good advice except when that individual has taken it upon herself to resort to name calling me and/or friends. This was the case. The two poems I posted since would be classified as encores, so if you're interested you may like to read them. Thanks for your thoughts through comments.

Indiana Shaw Date: 8/20/2021 10:12:00 AM That last quatrain was a total killer for me, Jenna, well said ; ) Login to Reply Jenna Logan Date: 8/20/2021 11:20:00 AM Hi Indiana. Thanks for the read and letting me know what resonated with you.

Mark Koplin Date: 8/17/2021 6:09:00 AM I love it Jenna!! It sounds like someone pooped in her bran flakes. Login to Reply Jenna Logan Date: 8/17/2021 7:39:00 AM haha Bran flakes might make her poop more, and she's already full of it. Good to see you, Mark.

Victor Buhagiar Date: 8/16/2021 3:09:00 AM I am getting a bit curious about this poet. If she's rude you should bock her. Hugs Login to Reply Jenna Logan Date: 8/16/2021 8:21:00 AM Hi Victor. Your solution is always to block or ignore. This person has attacked me and Milton, but she doesn't have the guts to confront me. If she wants to spar, I will, instead of letting her spread lies about both of us. She has a double standard and that's hypocritical.

L Milton Hankins Date: 8/15/2021 11:45:00 AM Here's the story, folks. We have a woman on PS who turns nasty, mean-spirited, and hateful in her poems and her comments when anyone disagrees with her or remotely says something she doesn't like. I made a comment once to one of her poems perfectly innocent. I simply commented, "You seem very sad." From there, she lashed at me in comments and poetry. I have been stressed out by her for several months. I thought about writing a blog about it, but restrained myself. Now, she's on Jenna's case! Login to Reply Jenna Logan Date: 8/15/2021 11:53:00 AM Right, Milt. On her potd I commented that I disagree that Dr. Fauci is a medical deviant, and that CNN has a poisonous voice, as she wrote. I don't lament for humanity like she does because I don't fear the truth. She reported me to PS Admin and deleted my comment. I'll not blog about something so ridiculous, but neither will I allow her to call me the names she has...witch, clown, attention seeker, etc, without a rebuttal.

David Kavanagh Date: 8/15/2021 11:36:00 AM Wait what the heck is going on Jenna, another conflagration on the soup, I hope them nasty blogs are not starting up again, this one sounds like someone is paranoid, hope all is well cheers David Login to Reply Jenna Logan Date: 8/15/2021 11:55:00 AM Hi David. I think Milt explained it very well. Now this person is writing nasty poems about both of us. It's childish that she misunderstands simple comments and regards them as a put down. Paranoia... you may be correct.

L Milton Hankins Date: 8/15/2021 10:46:00 AM Well done, Jenna. What else can I say? She really does need to "get a good grip on [her] life." Login to Reply Jenna Logan Date: 8/15/2021 11:47:00 AM Yes, Milt, she does. She continues to express her claims that I maligned her when that is simply not true. Her silly poems about me and you dissing her poetry is a sham. I've never criticized her poetry in a comment, and you said you haven't either, so she must be taking things out of context. I don't like being the brunt of her anger, and I'll not ignore it. Thanks for commenting.

Jan Allison Date: 8/15/2021 8:03:00 AM wow Jenna I daren't ask who has rattled you cage, but good on you for bouncing back with this one! hugs jan xx the imagery in the first two stanzas sure made me smile! Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 8/15/2021 9:39:00 AM Jan, you might want to look up the poem Snake on PS Hill. Just suggestin'. Jenna Logan Date: 8/15/2021 8:23:00 AM It's tragic that someone can be so spiteful by continuing to call me and another innocent poet such nefarious names. I've lost interest in writing for PS, but as long as she keeps up the ridiculous scorning, so will I, and maybe twice on Sunday. Thanks for the comments and for knowing me well enough to know I would not hassle another poet without good reason. Some will say, "Ignore her," but I'm not of the mind set to do that.
