Some cannot stand without knocking others down. I find that despicable


Arrogance's Fool

knock them down and stand on their backs
get your pride from your negative attacks
who are you to be judge and jury
and what is the cause of your unrighteous fury
unfortunately in the game of life
their are people like you who instigate strife
you are a small person with a belligerent nature
mean and grim are your most prominent features
take your opinions and your words
wrap them up in your cruel and absurd
thoughts that you spread with cowardice ease
and drop them in the sewer please
for that is the place for such things to decay
when they rank of waste from your pious display
of arrogance

I just read this child's comment and my question to him is this, "Where were you writing your poems before this web-page, let me guess, um, e-mail?. This page is used to share ideas, not sale your poems, partner and if nobody is reading your work, especially after this comment, you only have yourself to blame. Besides that, have a nice trip darling, keep writing and let a fool be a fool. And if he has anything more nice to say about you, you send him my way, I would love to read, write and erase him.

Dear Kathy...

In all poet sites there is fools who jugde other...

All we poets know they are among us, and the best thing to do, is ignore them.

Take care dear

)))hugs(((

It was an unmotivated comment, and you answered to it in a clear, balanced and intelligent way.

Oh, Kathy... just went in and read the comment everyone is talking about.
You know, this is just about what we get to see everyday on Poetbays Swedish site. It is sad.....
My advice: IGNORE IT! The best way to handle such things is with silence. I know it's hard, but please. You've got such a big heart and a great talent,always kind to everyone here. Made me feel so welcome to the Bay and you are so absolutely right, we are all free to write whatever we want, then it's up to the reader if they chose to read or not. Sadly there will always be those who feels the need of picking on others, I think it's just plain jealousy. You got that golden star cause the Editors found you worthy of it and I agree with them!

Many hugs to you

Katherine this is a brilliant re post to the unwarrented attack on your talent and on your kindness

the arrogance of ppl like the person who attacked your work is unbelievable they are full of spite because they are not emmediately recognised as brilliant all this character has done is to show what a fool he is
well done

and all my love Michael xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxylk

I also had a thought that maybe this was in response to that nasty comment you got on your Gone to the Beach text that happened to be editors choice. You don't pick the editors choice texts and I was surprised to see it was selected, it isn't your fault Kathy. Anyway just
another opinion of mine.

Thats right Kathy, there are people out there who feel as if they know all the answer and have no problem detaining you until they force their belief down your throat. Its sad to know this is a world we live in but this poem really says a a lot about what people go through. Great Job Kathy. Also Enjoying Florida?
