Jealous green those eyes staring a hole in the soul of my poetry seeing what is there and tinkering where they shouldn't be. If you were across the street from me would you stare into my windows like some pitiful animal needing to be let into the warmth of my thoughts from the coldness of your own life? I'd pull the shades and perhaps that is cruel but what business have you to peek into my life uninvited. You stalk my poetry and think you walk silently down the halls of my life but I hear you see you crouching in a corner hoping to garner some misinformation some misdeed. I wonder are there poetry pest controls to keep your unwanted buzzing from drowning out the music of my words. Your footsteps are loud unwelcome and yes I hear you. and yes I see you there. Why not come out of your corner? ~~I Love You~~ |

Jennifer, I'm sorry, too, that someone is doing you like this. I knew from your reply a while back when you bumped my poem up about "Jealousy, The Green-eyed Monster", that you were having probems with someone who was jealous of you. Like I said before, jealousy is very cruel and hurtful. I hope things get worked out with you. You are a very talented writer and I hate to see you get hurt. "Love makes the world go around" |

I learned long ago, at another site, that even though we expect more from those who would be poetic, people are just people and worse, the faceless unaccountability of the internet often brings out the worst. Of course those who write from an honest and sensitive heart are victimized......but only if we allow it. This is why you'll not find me in any instant message capacity. Picture me in a cave. |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Jennifer, this is so very heartaching, sweet friend, my heart goes out to all and I don't believe in jealousy at all either, as it can be so menacing and like Othello, kill you. I can't stand it when other poets on the web say "I wish I can write like you" or much worse, plagiarize that author, as poetry is what YOU feel, what YOU experience, what YOU see. And YOU are a poet, my friend, so tell whoever is hurting you these words and turn the other cheek and wish that person well! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, I send angel hugs your way, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jennifer, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Jenn, some people will hide and taunt forever, whether from jealousy or some other perceived wrongdoing. They are called cowards, though jellyfish might be more poetic. Your poetry is always superb, and from the heart. Don't let anyone mess with your mind. |

Ah.... one need never go far to find those willing to make much more of your life than they will of their own. It is always easier for them, for all too often the lives they lead are filled with the need to make less of some other in hopes of building themselves up. A shame... and hurtful that people are so inclined... you express it well with enough anger to make it bite... |

I never know if this is a personal experience or just an observation, but pondering gossip among peers is laughable. They are simply like a high school click (sp?), who stick together, for alone, each and every one is a coward. The mentality of the pack...my, oh my, some never grow up. They need each other to know who they are and if you have a thought process separate from the group, you are out, and by their comments or lack of, you know who they are and who they think you are. Tough! This is a great poem. I always view jealousy, envy and even ~contempt~ as compliments. (And, even the tiny little digs, which are few and far between) just letting you know how much better you ~could~ write, but with no added info. Feel sorry for any who would try to bring you down to their level, they only do it to make themselves feel like they soar above you. It is exactly the way Ron explained it. Your poetry is fantastic. I believe the worse thing any of us who have found ourselves in conlict with a group, or a single person, or the ones who support the conflicted one,(the click) whether they were right or wrong, is to give them our personal power by honoring their ignorance and shallow minds with any notice to them at all. I would suspect your critque box message challenges some of the dimmer witted ones..... Good luck to you and God bless.... Hugs and with the warmest regards, I'm so glad ~you~ are ~you~, smiling here.. Pat  One other note: I am guilty sometimes for possibly twisting the poets intentions...I try poetry on. I wear it, I own it, I feel it, I judge it, according to my intellect and my heart and soul. (I give it back) but often, I suspect the meanings I come up with are very much different than the ones intended. It is never my wish to mess up the meaning of any poetry.... I simply enjoy it and use it! ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. "Desiderata" [This message has been edited by regards2you (12-03-2002 12:51 PM).] |

smiling.. Once again, I have no idea..and once again? I'm GLAD. And anybody ever tell you that you are beautiful when you are angry?  and funny, I used to think I had NO secrets when it came to writing. I do NOW.  But then, maybe I have just discovered that some things ARE sacred.  |

I can really feel your resentment and anger, which is from what I gather quite justified. And for that jealous person out there, We should be glad there are other poets with great talent, who can help us to ease the world with the music of our words. Shame on you! WinterWren |

Funny how people discuss finding their inner-child these days. When you consider that people our age are still acting like this it's a shame more of us don't search for an inner adult. Love your poems Temptress don't give a crap about anybody else or these silly politics and keep posting them cause i'm a big fan! [This message has been edited by Aenimal (12-03-2002 03:53 PM).] |

I know you're angry and with every good reason. But this made me smile. I hope the readers take this to heart and get their noses back in joint!  |

Some are insecure and shallow at all ages and are threatened by whom they first admired. I have seen this occur at every poetry sight I ever posted at and have often been to target. Let it roll off sweet and talented lady It is just going to be that way anywhere.. Jelousy happens when u have something they don't and extra big hugs to you, Cher Poetry is: |

Eh. In 8th grade, unfortunatly(sp), there is a lot of that and it stinks.I hate it...being so pressured into certain groups and then again not wanting to be in another myself. I hate it....grr...it makes me mad to know that people think that they are better than anyone else on the earth...like they are so pretty so they get special privileges...ok enough rambling back to the poem....this was good it really gave through feelings perfectly almost....great job Riley Morning mist clings to my face, and my soul opens up to you...... |

dark, tantalising. this was such a strong poem. jealousy is a horrible thing, i've had to deal with it numerous times. but there is always something good to take from it. the feeling that you have reason to be envied. you have qualities that admired so much, they make some people jealous. another person's weakness can give you strength. you can't change them, but you can let it change you. it can be a good thing. that is, when you're on the receiving end. /jen/ i'm freezing, i'm starving, i'm bleeding to death. everything's fine.

Wow!! I didn't think this poem would get this kind of attention, but I'm loving it. I'm glad everyone got some thought out of this. As for whether it is a true situation or not... that is best left to the imagination. You know, I just realized my title said "...Nosey Poets..." It made me think...Aren't all poets nosey in a sense that we're always watching what goes on in the world around us anyways? Something else to ponder. Thanks everyone. ~~I Love You~~ |

inkgoddess, I usually don't have this problem on here. I mostly get an abundance of support here. This site really is the best place on the net to be as far as a poetry community. There are people like this on every site anyways, and I came from a far worse one before here. Thanks for your support and comments. *Jenn* ~~I Love You~~ |

Well my friend...you certainly have our support, for you are a talented writer. I'm afraid I am dumb to these things...for I feel that whatever is inspired in others by my work is not personal...it is theirs to make and take. Only you know the heart behind the write. Always a fan. ThisDiamond |
