Rumors

Vile, bittersweet

Poison dripping into gullible ears.

Tell a lie, let it spread like wildfire

For the truth, in reality is a bore.

Yes, rumors. I certainly do question their existence, I mean, rumors spread all the time, and all it does is hurt people. Maybe there's some pleasure spreading it, but you're not being a Saint altogether. Your haiku keenly expressed the disgust one should have towards rumors. I liked the almost cynical approach on the last line. I hope people will understand the uselessness of rumors, to most I have been witness to, myself. I applaud your efforts, good job.

It may be a bore, but the truth shall set you free. I prefer the freedom over the excitement.

It seems like nowadays people like to believe the lies more than the actual truth. Kind of like more "Exciting" i guess. "Tell a lie, let it spread like wildfire
For the truth, in reality is a bore." Very good imagery.

short and kind of striking :)

True. I Like the way how you simplified them...

I don't even know why rumors exist. They are so meaningless. Its just a way of saying, "I don't like you, so I'll spread lies about you and blah blah blah..." Anyways... very true words. You did a good job.

Concise and true , the truth is boring and peoples lives even more so.

[Revery]

Nice, sharply poignant. Love it.

You wrote a very solid write here, really leaves a message to the readers.

A strange and curios view. Still, life's excitability does borrow itself from the boredom of others. Nice write!
