Gossip.

A play on poetry I've been reading lately.

Standing solid upon the breaking ground,

I yeild to nature and only her not others,

Branded science leaves me here to die,

Not along with friends or indeed mothers.

 

You've felt the strenght of my loving you,

I beg of you no to listen with eager rate,

Do not turn and feel the stab of eyes,

Really, you don't want to feel my hate.

 

Pleading vomit has been sent to kill me,

I slap at motions not riddled with grit,

No movement of legs controled my mind,

The wind now wisps and holds no hit.

 

Borders are failing when walls come up,

Two men refuse to see eye to thought,

Wisdom has no place for fighting war,

Women lend gossip to those already caught.

Author's Note

Honesty my darlings, honesty!

I like it, its very true Thomas. I enjoyed reading this, it took me a little while to understand the full gist of it. But once I did I was in shock from it, its quite a powerful piece. Great work, get writing, you have quite a talented mystery from you. I like it. It'll take you far, good luck Thomas. (:

Gritty and brutal, good raw poem ;-)

[Suditi]

The last stanza is so powerful.
The theme itself is so creative.
Gossip does hurt bad, at times.
A great write.

Wow. I really like this. It's a little dark at times- but I suppose that's what gossip is. I agree. Honesty always.

Your such a clever writer, I've read this three times now and each time i find a new nuance to its meaning. I really liked it.

Ahh Gossip...Makes some famous, others fearful and yet will continue for all time. I always feel if someone is gossiping about me, some other poor soul is left free. Like the raw essence of your words .. powerful thoughts here

[Kenneth The Poet]

A very good play on poetry, I think.

[WhiteWillow]

Sticks and stones may break my bones....but words are far more hurtful.

Great piece!

Gossip can hurt more then any knife can. I loved the honesty in this! Good job!

[Buniheart]

Wow, i have to admit at some point i was lost but after my second read, i was able to catch the meaning and the reason why you picked the title "Gossip"!
I really enjoyed this work, Thomas!! Good Job!
