:D - I came here to get some Inspo to write ... instead I witnessed a good slap to the face ... perhaps I shall go meander my way along the cliffs instead ...
I have this woman at work - probably the most manipulative, cancerous woman I hav ever met - and I have met a lot of people. Currently I am her target, problem is, I operate at the highest level (my own perception), she doesn't, there ain't no way she will ever win this fight she is pushing so hard to persue.
Can the basic essence of a person change ? This woman breathes pure hatred (especially for me) I truly feel sorry for her. But honestly, she will never win, not against me. I relish this stuff ...
Did you get my itty bitty mail ?

The meaning of this is probably not what you think it is even though it seems very obvious. But of course, meaning every time is ultimately up to the reader.
I tried to re read/edit this thing but by then I had kinda forgetten my original meaning. There are parts of this that are more harsh than they should be but I can't honestly fix them.
(the chances of a person fundamentally changing after age 35 are right around zero... but not exactly zero... hope remains for everybody)
And no not yet, snail mail is pretty inefficient these days. I'd give it 5 more days.

Well I know a few women and men who this could be about. I like the flow. It's like you are thinking out loud. A snapshot of your thoughts.

Next time I'll try and take a happier snapshot. This particular disposition is poisonous.
I just love the sheer venom of this piece ddave. I havent seen you around before but this feels like a good rant off your chest against a woman who is clearly had her way of manipulation in the past. Good for you and now you can discard such dbags in the sewers where they came up from.

Oh, I've been here for a long time. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself reading me.
I just signed in to look at my own profile, but I saw the title of this piece and had to click on it. All I can say is holy wow! It's really bold, vivid and wild and I have to say I kinda love it! Since I always choose to find good where it really doesn't exist, (and yes, I'm trying to change), I'd like to borrow this for my next break up...thank you for sharing and I hope you have a great week!

I'm very good at destroying relationships. Maybe one day I should try my hand at saving them... it might make me a happier human being overall.
Well, that's a viscious rant if ever I saw one. Hope that's cleared the air. Last two lines were suitably venomous. Closes the door and leaves quietly.

Thanks liz, that's high praise. And I don't think I could even if I wanted to. (change that is)

"Merely"? You mean there's MORE? If so, I wanna know about it, cuz the first thing you said was what I was here for; I scarcely know how to construct a sentence.
But now!--Oh, now I find out there's MORE! What can it all be? ...
"And now,
now that I've seen it
irrefutably...
go f**k yourself"
I got all excited over THAT?
Damn; I was gonna do that anyway... you get a good mark for the poem, though! You put a lot of effort into it, and it shows.
Oh, I forgot to mention:
Was this your Swan Song?
I'm guessing yes, at least I would think it would be.
You wouldn't want to hang around anymore now that we all know how self serving it is.
I will, however, first tell you the reason I came here, in case you care.
If not, I know a bunch of people who might read this have the same reason.
I originally came here because a friend of mine, to whom I was complaining about how no magazine editor will look at anything you write-- let alone a publisher-- unless you get a literary agent first,referred me.
Not having one, I thought, 'if I were a literary agent, and I was looking for talent, I would come to a site like this and see whether I notice anyone'...
I thought, 'Maybe one of them will think the same!'
It doesn't cost me anything to try, right?
So here I am.
Are you a literary agent, DDave?

I kind of disagree with the gutters of much thing, though.
I didn'i expect to be impressed by so many of the writers I've seen here, honestly.
There are amateurish poets here, but many of them are kids, so of course they seem that way. They are! But the ones who stay will get better.
I appreciate your comment, but I still think there is a lot of real talent here.

And I have to echo kwp's comment... I really don't think any literary agent is coming anywhere close to a social media orientated poetry site like this. If you want that kind of thing you need to write some sensational prose, have connections and/or a large social media following on a bigger site than this.
There is something off about your comment and responses. I can't quite put my finger on it but, there is something about you. And I don't think it's a good thing.

No, it's probably not, dear. And I am in the process of reading you, for the first time, I think.
6 Years Ago
you think?
my dear, by any chance, are you insinuting something?
