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.

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.

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
