Poem Artwork



It is one of the prime glories of the human mind
that the same idea or experience is never absorbed
in precisely the same way by any two individuals
who may be exposed to it."-Norman Cousins


THE SEEDS OF GOSSIP


Could we agree, on what we see?
Or do we vary.....by degree?
And should we take a second glance?
In case the details, might enhance?

Should we trust initial sight?
Or give that SECOND look a bite?
Until you're sure, of what was seen
Just hush your mouth.....and keep it CLEAN!!

To gossip is a burden, and responsibility...
That some embrace religiously, with mock nobility
To turn away attention, from the soiled lives THEY lead
Their words do naught but fertilize...their ALL destructive seed

Lady A

Well i sincerely hope you havent been the subject of malicious gossip....and the poem makes an important point. This aside....I must say...your illustration has to go down as one of my favorites (for my jumbled head)My reactions were...What The...?? Ohhhhhhh!!!
Followed by a big laugh out loud!! Did u ever see Mel Brooks' "Robin Hood, Men in Tights"? there is a similar play on perception!!

Absolutely great write and message!Especially like:
"Until you're sure, of what was seen
Just hush your mouth.....and keep it CLEAN!"
And, even then, it still might be better to hush that mouth! Good message to take to heart, Lady A...

Ten people reading the same sentence, will give you ten interpretations. Same with gossip. We used to call it DRG [dirty rotten gossip] Absorbed with the comprehension of our experiences. [and that is the scary part]

Brave poem, Lady A. Well done too. [smiles]
