Entangled Poem by Sandra Martyres
Entangled
O what a tangled web we weave
When we choose to deceive
Or to be deceived
We need to realise that we receive
What we as ordinary mortals choose to give
Let us not, therefore, live
In a state of blissful ignorance
Of the rest of the world and its tolerance
Just yesterday you did loudly cry
That to her letter you did not reply
So now you need to explain why
The problem has been raised to the sky
If only you had been frank and told the truth
You would have spared yourself and Ruth
All the pain and the disharmony
Including having to face so much ignominy
Her paranoid father and ruthless brother
Taunting you and your poor harried mother
About the love letter that you wrote to her
Such emotional outpourings are best kept verbal
Since the written word is considered immoral
Remember that in our hypocritical society
It is only the high and mighty
Who can get away with just anything
While lesser mortals like you will always feel the sting
Of the shame that even innocuous actions can bring
A good meaningful write...could prove a bitter warning to many who dare, dare not...10
Ohhh...A love story gone awry. A pity. And about this line of yours...'Since the written word is considered immoral..' The written word, no doubt, is a definitive record for a number of purposes...and consequences. Such as the love letter. The 'immoral' aspect is debatable under societal norms (the actors of the story would know this better than the readers) . The spoken word, likewise, can also be 'immoral'. But who decides the moral code? ? Unfortunately, the victims of spurned love know where the shoe pinches.... Nice write Sandra. God bless. Cheers. Subroto
There is much wisdom and common sense packed into this cleverly penned poem about deceit and its ramifications, and the double standards of morality based on class. Your have chosen your rhymes carefully and structured the poem to give the reader a sense of orderliness and cadence. Your first line from Walter Scott grabs the reader's attention with both hands. Excellent piece. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
So honest and clear in the advice given...Love yor style! Always direct and to the point....you cut to the chase and one never has to wonder what you're writing about! Nice one, Sandra!
