David Kavanagh Poet Tanka

Whack a Mole

behold i’m a troll
     being an imposter my goal
           besides i’ve no role 
 behind these screens rots my soul
      beating back into my hole 

Dedicated to the coward/s that tried 
to sabotage Edward Ibeh’s ‘(this or
that) contest.

Andrea Dietrich April 14, 2021 at 1:47 PM good for you sticking up for Edward. What is WRONG with some people? David Kavanagh April 14, 2021 at 2:05 PM Edward is just doing his best Andrea encouraging us to write, how anyone gets a kick out of undermining and sabotaging contests, is way below petty, and definitely needs to see a psychiatrist.

Kai Michael Neumann April 14, 2021 at 3:01 AM Nice one. Why would anyone want to sabotage the contest? Kind wishes, Kai David Kavanagh April 14, 2021 at 6:02 AM No idea Kai, I wasn’t even aware it went on til I read Edwards blog, pretty sad or pretty bad, anyone’s guess, cheers David

Kim Rodrigues April 12, 2021 at 8:32 PM Oh no! That’s horrible. David Kavanagh April 12, 2021 at 11:28 PM Ain’t it just Kim, 10 bogus poems where posted, just to close off the contest early, how petty, cheers David

Jan Allison April 12, 2021 at 3:34 PM Sad times on soup when we have trolls, fake accounts, plagiarism etc, have seen it ever since i joined, shame these idiots can't get a life but they must get a kick from causing issues behind their computer screens:-( jugs Jan xx David Kavanagh April 12, 2021 at 3:41 PM The saddest part is Jan, what on earth do they hope to achieve, it’s only a small site for poetry, I’m convinced it’s some disgruntled ex-member, eating away with, jealousy or spite, or mental health issues, cheers David
