WITZ' END

I'm upset, at the end of my wits,

'Cause my blogposts no  longer get hits. 

Fans and fam liked my stuff,

But they've now had enough.

My new role? A sole twit -- that shoe fits.

Dr G.H. and Giorgio Coniglio, 2022

SUBTLE EDITORIAL BULLYING

You wrote poetry. Glad that folks read it?

This cooperative site earns some credit.

But Contributing-Eds

(Some) get into their heads

Subtle bullying done with an edit.

 Dr G.H. and Giorgio Coniglio, 2022

Authors' Note: Used here in a loose sense, with no implications for ownership, cooperative refers to a group effort by like-minded individuals. Collaborative writing sites, such as OEDILF, the on-line dictionary have the potential advantage of learning from peers, and ultimately higher rates of publication. Contributing editors ('eds'), however, may entertain notions of their personal relevance and productivity that influence their editorial comments on others' work. Rarely, such notions are translated into malevolent actions by these poet-leaders.

Other problems with cooperative groups are discussed HERE.
