English Lessons from jfreelancer

[fabmax]

I just was wondering if any other poet's have received messages from a lady who's screen name is jfreelancer. She hasn't posted anything here, but certainly has a lot to say, some of it rather insulting....................just curious if others have been subjected
to mail from this person.

 

[WickedEve]

I haven't seen that name before. Did she leave a public comment or send email?

 

[fabmax]

She's been sending me mail on a regular basis here, and some of it is a little disturbing to say the least. She send it via literotica feedback, and I don't know about you I certainly don't mind critiques from others who post themselves, just found it a little weird and kinda creepy. Thanks for the reply Wicked, love your stuff and oh that single and looking OH I CAN SO RELATE.
My poetry is about a long love affair that now has become a friendship and that's about it (married of course) so single we sit and wonder LOL.

Keep in touch, and when you post could you let me know

Thanks
Max

I can relate to having someone, or more than one person, who seems to obsess over one poet and his/her poetry. Make sure not to accept anon feedback. They usually don't bother emailing when they have to leave an email address, and if you do get an address, you could always ask what the problem is. I've done that, and sometimes I've been able to establish a decent enough dialog with them, and other times not. One thing I've finally learned (I hope) is not to give the "trolls" too much attention. I think they love the threads we start about them, and the emails and PC we respond to. You could just delete the emails and PC, but I know it's still tough to ignore some comments. Of course, you'll have people telling you to turn off your PC, but that's not fair to you when you want to receive comments from other readers.

Single. Sick of it. Seeking.

By the way, what's the second pic about? Is that something you did?

Virginia... that's extreme northeastern Texas, is it not?

 

[WickedEve]

Virginia... that's extreme northeastern Texas, is it not?

Yeah. I'm on that patch of land over yonder, down that very, very long stretch of Texas road.

 

[foehn]

Yeah. I'm on that patch of land over yonder, down that very, very long stretch of Texas road.

Oh my. I'm totally encaptilvated by your 'Judge Eve' look...

encaptapulted?

encapitualized?

encarcerated? ...

*resumes whittling*

You whittle? Ohhhh...
Do you have a cowboy hat?

 

[foehn]

You whittle? Ohhhh...
Do you have a cowboy hat?

I started to lie, and say that I do, but I don't. I have had them in the past, but they are largely impractical these days, except for "show" ... and I'm not much into "show"...

Cattle are not much herded, these days, but rather lured where they're needed by a pickup-truck with a horn, from which they are accustomed to receiving feed.

Way off topic, I guess. What's Virginia like? I saw a bit of it once, a piece of countryside with large oaks and rolling hills. I thought that part was very pretty.
