He hurt my feelings by his reply
To a poem I did write
What did I ever do to him
For him to be so unkind

He was one who I admired
I thought he was a nice guy
Until he said what he did
To hurt my feelings deep inside

Maybe I should not be here
I should just go away
No longer do I know
If I should even stay

I sympathize SC---just a suggestion here, but why don't you talk to HIM about it?

and that last verse? hmmm...I used to let replies bug me, but one day I just decided, "oh well. I think I'm just gonna write ANYWAY." If I find the site with some of the rejection slips/reviews submitted by some wonderfully talented---successful writers? I will pass it on. It was quite enlightening.

I like to think that those that can write? can't help but do so...some that can't? become critics!

There is never an excuse for intentional rudeness here. Advise any moderator when this happens and it will be dealt with.

Keep writing, SUe

Don't you dare go away Sue, remember?

YOU ARE NOT A QUITTER!!!

Anyone who's hurting you, is hurting me.
Go yell at him!!! Kick his ass!!! I'm right behind you to kick some more.

I love you, we all love you and we all love your poetry, it's beautiful poetry!!!

Sue - I'm sorry your feelings were hurt by someone. Please don't let some jerk drive you away from something you obviously love. Your writing is so good and I look forward each day to seeing if you've written something new. There's an old saying, 'you can't please all of the people all of the time.' However, there is never an excuse for rudeness or hurting someone's feeling. Hang in there hon. Hugs, Marti

Sue...I am so very sorry that someone hurt your feelings dear lady. (Hug) I know how you feel. Someone once told me that I couldnt write my way out of a paper bag.
Be strong, and if you love writing, then keep on doing it! We all appreciate your poetry soooo much so please dont let some un-appreciative person ruin it. (hug)

You are all so kind.

Serenity, it has been my experience not to say anything to someone about what they say. Especially if they say something hurtful. Thank you for your concern.

Balladeer, thank you. I am a tough chick, too. Maybe a little too sensitive and softhearted sometimes, but still tough. Don't worry, I will keep writing. I haven't learned the meter thing, yet.

Titia, That's right! I'm not a quitter. And you are a very dear, sweet friend. I'm not going anywhere.

1slick_lady, I had thought about not coming back. But, don't worry! I'm not going anywhere.

Rebbeca, I'll be okay.

Marti, thank you for your nice comment. And, you can look forward to reading more.

RosePetal, thank you. I do love to write. So, I'm not going anywhere.

You have a special heart and I hope ya won't let ANYONE make ya feel unwelcome here. Keep writing and sharing with us, ok?

Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely and complete

You're a smart women, but if there has been some intentional words said, take it to a moderator...they know very well how to help you get through most any situation...

it's true, I AM a bit confrontational--but there are ways of confronting someone sweetly...grin...I find a load of sugar will disguise the strychnine very well!

Hugs you, you are a fine poet, and a hard working one at that---braver than I too...I never would attempt the iambic pentameter! Tho someone told me I got it once, it was an ACCIDENT!
