Me

Bitter by nature, or spiteful by choice?
Your blood surely boils at the sound of my voice
This untactful approach will never cease to appaul,
As I intrude and encroach do I make your skin crawl?

Fouled by nuture, or merely a fault in the breed?
Better avoided they say, I can't help but agree.
Prone to manipulate, rotten to the core,
Can I just stipulate, I couldn't agree more.

I twist your every word, I even twist mine,
A provocative fiend, absent in more than just spine....
Remorseful at least? Hardly, this hearts made of stone.
But the fate of this beast, will be suffered alone.

[Coyote Poetry]

Strong words and emotion made the words come alive. I like the powerful statements in this poem.
"I twist your every word, I even twist mine,
A provocative fiend, absent in more than just spine...."
I like the ending to the excellent poem.

Wow. Amazing and strong. I love the darkness and honesty.

[Joe Palmer]

Thank you. Unfortunately yes, I was and apparently still am a b*****d. Only a mild element of poetic licence was actually utilized.

Beautifully written. I absolutely love the way its worded. I'm sure you don't need to be told but I just have to say you're very talented.

[Joe Palmer]

Thank you very much Aero! :) I wouldn't say very talented, just find poetry my preferred way of venting pent up emotions, but thank you kindly x

[Heather]

[Pryde Foltz]

A very bitter yet insightful and powerful write. It reminds me of a line from my favourite poet--I have a genius for evil that makes me comment. Great poem.

[Baby Ricochet]

I think I know that guy. I beat him at pool last week for twenty bucks

[Joyce S. Greene]

This is a strong, vivid poem, Joe. I can't say I like the narrator very much but I certainly admire the poet's ability to compose a great character study in rhythmic, rhyme. I applaud you!

[Joe Palmer]

Thank you Joyce!

Intense emotions to say the least. Lots of introspection and it would seem you do not like yourself much....or perhaps only when you around the one who twists your words. Good rhyming in the poem. Well expressed emotions. Lydi**
