Why

False picture false name so who knows who it really was. Love this Enjambent though. Funny how anger can pull great art out of us.

so sorry to hear this Brenda your poetry I have always found good and most excellent, ignore it not worth wasting your time on. As long as you are happy with it nothing else matters big hugs

- A great write, dear Brenda - Write with your heart and soul ..... I love your poems! - Good luck in the contest! - oxox // Anne-Lise :)

Yeah Brenda, you know I' new so I just kind of stay behind the curtain and peek but I like what everyone is writing espically Cherl and Maurice. Love and hugs eve, good luck on the contest

Briend who is doing this to you, I'd like to kick them if I could right between their verses most intimate lines if you catch my drift. Some on this sight seem to think they can be so mean sometimes. But I hope you know I have only given you what you deserve, and I've only read great stuff from you my friend never lower than a six, but for this I'd give you a 7 and the fool who put you so low can simply shove it. cheri

It has happened to me as well but I have not been able to figure out who didn't like my poems because all the comments were so positive. I have to admit it left me confused. For me I only rate poems if it is to give a 7. So I give you a 7 for this one Brenda.

Dear Brenda, why would anybody want to do something like this? It is so very low! At least you managed to find out who it was! Some strange things do happen on Soup, but I suppose there are explanations behind them. Take care:) // paul

hmmm :0 L & L

Good-ness Brenda, that's so devious! BIG HUGS & a 7 ;) Light & Love

It seems very weird to me that they were doing that, and I know someone is doing it to me too, dearie. It would be nice to know their real intentions!! I don't even use those ratings and I don't really understand what purpose they serve!! I guess some people just get off on rating poems!!! I think you did a good job with enjambment here!

I am sad but no too surprised of this misbehavior, Brenda. That's a very childish thing to do to you or anyone around. I can't blame you a bit for being upset at all, but believe me if I were you I'd shake it all off and quick. To me that so called "friend" wasnt truly a true friend of yours I guess.just remember, that even Jesus was betrayed by his own people. Brenda,you're a very nice poet! Well, you are to me! And I agree with our good and sweet friend Tim. Listen to him! Lol.. Really! :) take care now! Sending you lots of hugs! Love and blessings! Xxx D.

Oooh! Such a betrayal of friendship. I have a friend who does this, but she is honestly expressing her view. It took a while to understand this, but I know that if she likes something, she will not give it a low rating. We are very good friends now. I hope whoever has been doing this to you is not just out to hurt you. Hold them accountable and block them if they are. So sad this is happening to you. You're one of my favorite "people" as well as a favorite poet. Love, Carolyn

Oh Brenda..Your poetry is so beautiful...don't worry about trivial numbers....You are one poet I always go out of my way to find and rate higher than any number system...love and hugs Tim

Have a look at my latest poems, dear Brenda, I have raised the issue of certain people, playing games with the good intentions of others. I do not agree they are doing it because they are childish but because a few of them are malicious and the best thing to do is to let good people alone! ES TUT MIR LEID, meine freudin Brenda!

I thought I was the only victim! Thank you for exposing this mean-spirited behavior in such an excellent piece! Great write! Pandita

Oh Brenda I can relate to this write as recently it's happening to me too - great write my friend! Good luck in the contest - its a 7 from me!!! t:-) hugs Jan xxx
