Bully

In Poetry

A casual check

Becomes a casual cry.

Shot from far and not

Each killing from inside.

Isolation becomes friend

No sight of this end

And beginning, lost from mind.

.

A deadly weapon

A useful tool

Can provide and educate

Yet accessed by fools.

Full of hate and spite

No thought to us in sight

And with whom good and evil duels.

.

The internet is what we speak of

The damage not yet done

We may speak for many

Whose lives were used as pun.

Victimized and alone

No one sees the image shown

Off screen as darkness stole the sun.

Really good poem.
You used really good strong words that are very descriptive and good at capturing the readers (me).

I didn't exactly understand some parts like:

And beginning, lost from mind.


Be a bit more specific and help out the readers.

A deadly weapon
A useful tool
Can provide and educate
Yet accessed by fools.


is mixed up. Maybe write it like:

A useful tool
that can provide and educate,
yet a deadly weapon when accessed by fools.

This is just clearer and you can use "yet" better.

Anyways, good poem, and I hope you keep writing!

I really can relate to this poem and your title interested me from the beginning. So fare Nice poem, I enjoyed how your poem flowed and had enough to say the pain and hurt that bullies inflect so well done. Your imagery was spot on and I quite enjoyed it. Not sure how the periods after the sentence mean but still nice touch. Overall, well done
