That must of been really bad poetry

I’m astonished that so many people on here are taking the piss, a man was stabbed...wtf is funny about that?

Haiku-rumba!

I wonder lonely as a cloud - Why TF does this happen?

Somehow I dont even need to read the article to know exactly what happened.

A disarmed society is a vulnerable society.

We need a wall to protect us from the Scots .....& poets.

Which left wing liberals/LGBQTUVWXYZ/Antifa/communists did he upset?

Radical poets will do that

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

Outrageous. Hope for the best.

No rhyme or reason to this attack?

Blimey, shows how much damage an errant comma can do...

Always trouble at these poetry events it needs proper policing

am sure the BBC will blame that on brexit

Blimey... Scared to go attend my Macrame for beginners course now

With a pencil?

Stab in the dark

This makes me love Scotland more than I already do.
