I enjoy your poems, and I love your love of poetry.
I don’t fully agree with your criticisms, but I recognise that they’re positive in their intent.
That makes them different from the criticism I once raised against people who wrote poems here. I was very scathing,. I was quite an a-hole, holding a ‘superior’ standard of literary criticism as a criterion against which I could laugh at people and their puny efforts. I was an -a-hole .
Some would say I still am but so far they have yet to convince me.
Someone called mizzy (lol ) convinced me just how much of an a-hole I was in poetry, taking a positive and encouraging attitude to everyone’s attempts.
What a shame that you tend to push the self-destruct button when you make cruel criticisms of some of the people here. Nasty and cruel. You devalue yourself. We all know you can be clever and withering, but to what end when you seek to humiliate people?
Humiliating people isn’t something to be proud of. We do it too often without meaning to, so actually setting out to humiliate is just not on at all. Everyone has their own hard battle to wage, without you (or I) making it worse.
That won’t stop me being withering in my ciriticms of other people’s opinions, but that’s different. That not humiliating them, it’s engaging with their argument. That’s how progress occurs – or should occur, anyway.
So keep your finger off the self-destruct button (self-destruct is something in which we all excel) and you can shine
That would make a wonderful poem you know. Your comments are very worthy of it.
Very elegantly put. although I would not say you were totally eloquent. My point was merely to remind that people should try to make the words in the sentence make sense.
Here is a response to your comment.
They comment harshly and try to ‘ridicule’??
As they have never themselves been humiliated or treated like a fool?
No they are just so withering that they misfire?
Pointing their gun at random’s over a crossed wire?
What end do they seek? making less sense is a blunder
Words can be magical, words can be a wonder
Putting into rhyme how you feel inside
Face the truth and don’t run and hide
Some can critisise others for their personality
Judging them harshly and ridiculously
So the point is that when walking on someone else’s turf
They might therefore point out their worth
Since being belittled by folk who then appear
Stuck in the trenches they just cannot hear
That words are important and should therefore be true
There are reasons for everything that some people do
So your assumptions are based on only what you can see
There is so much more to this truthfully
Only the innocent get to be ‘hurt’
Were they so ‘humiliated’ when they raked up the dirt?
‘Devalue’ that word is nasty and cruel?
Negative and spiteful if you follow your rule
So many things here are ‘justified’ on others terms
They are still tending their gardens to find their worms
They are shining in their own way
They are shining every single day
At the end of the day we reap what we sow
Self destruct button – No that just is not so
Gliding under the veil of their hypocricy
Transparent in its simplicity
If words make no sense what real meaning is there?
To make the reader ‘feel’ and to really care?
Typical of what is already known
The ground frosted over and that bird has now flown
Pointless defending pointless to explain
You don’t need an umbrella when you dance in the rain
The very fact that you are not ‘aware’
Makes the reader just forget to care
if she had been trolling in her own name they would have banned her name.
cos she was a number all they could do was to ban her ip as a guest and since martin lets anything go she must have been really bad as a guest abusing people as a number to get that number and ip banned..
remember that.
defend her all you like but the facts are clear to see and its been proved
Every guest who comes in and abuses people is mostly jamie to be honest. She told me herself. She said she hates tracy and born and so many of you.
she admitted to me shes had enough of being judged
She said she didnt get any support about her drinking and comes in here as numbers to get you to ‘listen’ but shes given up so now she just trolls you all cos you deserve it
her name wasnt banned was it???? her IP was banned which proves she was a number trolling and abusing others otherwise WHY WAS HER IP BANNED AND NOT HER REGISTERED NAME?????
why would they ban her ip cos of her number??? cos shes a troll lol
dont take a genius to work it out

Credit to you janeylou that was funny. I apologise and i do actually wish you all the best x I am sorry honestly. Some people are just meant to be and some people when together are toxic. I think that you two are well matched and i wish you both well xxxx the pic i saw of you both together was like two kindred spirits in love. love is hard to find x im glad you are with him now.
I so love when a person with multiple talents can judge others by own perfection and attitudes that apply for them only… wow.. now where that dam plunger..my toilet seems to be backed up with same old doo..doo..
Take you out to the ball game..one, two..three strikes you OUT! at the old ball game…..
Actually i do have multiple talents, i can write and type breathe and i often go to the toilet all by myself although i do need a half hour sleep after due to my fatness and being hookerying all night for my crack, lol and yes i can unblock a toilet as my late father was a plumber. Did you know you can unblock your toilet with a large fizzy pop bottle cut in half.
I hope you all have a great new year x
