Poetry Day: Human Hyena

Harley and her Hyenas

(I think we all know a person like this.  Maybe some of us have gone through a phase where we were this person.)

Hurling nasty barbs

At all that you find silly

Your goal is laughter

But only from your throat

You ignore every request

For apologies or silence

You claim it is your charm

To mock what they enjoy

Their rage brings out your smile

Putting edges on your giggles

They simply miss your humor

Which is far above their head

  1. I sure do know one of these.

  2. I liked Harley better in the animated. What they’re doing in the comics now is more irritating, at least to me.

    Yeah, I definitely know people like that who make horrific barbs toward me with what I enjoy and have hobbies for. There were definitely moments of laughter and sadistic smiles towards my way. That or they smile when I’m legitimately outraged about something which was unnerving. It’s a shame I never returned the favor to those same people.
