My Letter to Negative People
My Pet Peeve; Such a waste of time in our short life36 total reviews
Comment from karenina
Nice rant! Feel better? I'm smiling because, seriously, I am increasingly astounded at the effort some people will exert to be actively miserable!
I try, honestly try to remind myself they may be having a perfectly horrible day...
Let's get real, though, right? Some people "default" to "advanced ornery" with each new dawn!!!
As I read your poem I was nodding. Uh-huh! What you said!
Love your line:
"I think your harsh attitude is mostly about you."
So true!

Thank you so very much Karenina, as I truly appreciate your lovely review and such kind comments. Lol, some of this was mostly directed at my husband who seems to get in one of those PMS (putting up with men's shit) attacks about once a month, but for the most part is a pretty good guy. Oops, did I just say that? hehe! It's hard to always be at our best and never get down, but we do have the ability to look on the bright side and try to find a way to stay kind and respectful. And you my friend are exactly that. Thank you again!

Always a joy to read you!
Comment from Mary Vigasin
Okay, you can have my last six for the week with this well-written and powerful poem with an important message.
We tend to see only the negative, the worst in people, and judge too quickly. We are tearing each other and the country apart.
Best wishes,
Mary

And you are so very kind Mary! That means so much to me. Thank you for your generous stars and also for such a lovely review. I do agree, as I try to be such a positive person, and you named the one and only thing that can make me negative and that's the condition of our country. I just have to keep handing it over to God, or I would go crazy. I even boycotted the news a few years ago. So thank you so very much Mary. It is so appreciated!

Very well done! Loved your rant. Yes, there are people like that. And perhaps they were raised like that by parents without the golden rule. But hopefully, God will send them your letter when He sees a heart that's willing to repent. Best wishes in the contest!

Thank you so much Helen. I appreciate your kind review and comments, and even though negativity is hard to deal with, so is the pain from this surgery, as I accepted no narcotics at all, and I maybe paying for it but my head is clear. So I just keep praying that God will keep me nice until it gets better Lol

You are so brave to do that! Narcotics just make me sick so I would refuse it, too. Hope Advil/Tylenol and other things will help you! 💖💖🙏
Comment from Tina Crute
Negative people used to bother me too, until I realized they may have had really bad experiences or they don't have anyone positive in their life. It's hard to review a negative poem though. It can be frustrating.
Good job on getting your pet peeve across. It IS understandable!

Hi Tina, Lol, you maybe even nicer than I am. Actually I agree with you because this was kind of aimed at my husband, as we are different as night and day and still married. He's a great guy but I swear he can have PMS once a month. hehe! But I boycotted the news and do what I have to to stay healthy. My glass is full and his is full except that couple days a month. Anyway that's part of the reason, it's mostly the news so, thanks for letting me confide a little. He isn't as bad as my poem is though Thanks for the awesome review and kind words!
Comment from Verna Cole Mitchell
What wondrous advice in rhyme! Your meter and rhyme are both excellent and your ideas superlative. I'd love to have hung this in my 8th grade class! (One English teacher suggestion for third stanza: with subject "places," verb should be bring.) Hope it wins the contest!

Lol, I thank you most kindly Mrs.Mitchell! Actually Verna, I just love you!
I edited that part before thanking you, because I just love honest to goodness feedback almost as much as I love and appreciate those lovely six stars. And of course your lovely review and comments. There is no greater compliment for a poet, than one that comes from an English teacher.
So I thank you so much. You were my first review and I was so afraid that someone would see it before I was done editing. You have made my whole weekend! So Bless you my dear friend!

I worry that I am negative at times, but I don't think I'm ever negative about others (just myself). Thank you for this letter of advice to negative people. Best wishes to you.

Lol, Jesse no worries, as this is mostly about my husband when he gets in a mood. And you my friend should not be down on you because you are one of the loveliest people on this site, and I just love you to pieces. Thanks so much for the sweet review, and I meant every word I said!
