Creepy

Trolls
By Kareen King

They lurk behind screens
Seeking who to devour
Pouncing with their words

Slap, slap, tit for tat
Ping-ponging poison and venom
Who’ll get the last word?

Deny, deflect, dance
Survival of the slickest
The toxins take root

Invading the pores
Head to heart to soul, till hope
Can no longer breathe
