Dirty Laundry

Dirty laundry
Hangs out to dry
Waving around
For all passengers

Dingy beyond repair
Hangs this laundry
Spreading its disease
Of gossiping flare

Skeletons dance
In crusty rags
Closet bound
They do prance

Until dirty laundry
Is hung out on the line
Rumor has it
On lies they dine

there are just some people out there like to hang out someone else's dirty laundry, adding some of their dirt on it, falsifying some truths, that's why rumors spreads like wildfire,.. simply to say: there are just some people who are bad in spreading lies. very expressive piece, my friend.

Thank you. Gotta love ppl who gossip (not)

I would prefer my dirty laundry to hang out and be seen and let the gossips have their fill rather than stashing itaway inside my closet to rot and stink fforever. A very deep poem with great parallels drawn...

[Poetic Beauty]

I feel the same way but I hate gossips that lie.

I know, but they are a part of life...we can't avoid :)

This is a different way of looking at the dirty laundry.
This reminds me of why privacy should be protected.
Rumors and stories can be so hurtful.

[Poetic Beauty]

Yep. When ppl tell others secrets they have a way of making it more negative.

The whole read was amazing...however the last line you nailed it my friend!

Secrets... Yuk. I tend to not filter enough or keep everything private. It can be a bad habit to air out too much laundry.
The problem is, most people air out plenty of lies with their laundry.
It gets the yard smelling pretty nasty at times.
Interesting and biting write. I feel the angst.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you for reading. I think we all have been through gossip and it sucks.

Dirty laundry. A interesting topic. I was a Soldier. With female soldiers hanging out bra and panties on bumpers of trucks. I believe all of us have some dirty laundry hidden. Nice ending to the excellent poetry.

Thank you. Trying to get back to writing again.

[Coyote Poetry]

It was a very good poem. Title brought reader to and topic held my attention. I hope you are writing again. Read Jack London book "When Gods laugh". Made me write 40 new poems. We need good tale and story for us to create.
