Dear careless whisperer,
Some sharings are dagger-edged
and there is no escape when they're turned on you
no countermagic for the soul crushing embarrassment
dropped as if from a great height.
Did you hear the gun-shot thunderclap of confidence
leaving the room?
Careless whispers can be deadly. I really like this poem. I have five poems, but they are not activated yet. Why does it take so long for a new poet? Some of them were posted three days ago! Did that happen to you when you started?
No, or I just don't remember it happening. Maybe it was SO traumatic I've blocked it… dang, this sounds like something that could take YEARS of therapy.
Dear careless whisperer, Some sharings are dagger-edged and there is no escape when they're turned on you no countermagic for the soul crushing embarrassment What wonderful expressions are you writing dear poetess at your young age. you have great talent. thank you. tony
Holy cow! ! ! ! Look at the breadth of definitions for 'hussy': 'A woman considered to be brazen or promiscuous. A saucy or impudent girl or young woman. The mistress of the house: same as housewife.' five stars *****
I most-enjoyed these words: '..the soul crushing embarrassment dropped as if from a great height.' BOOM! ! ! ! Embarrassed? YOU? Well, put some panties on, you hussy! ! !
I heard no 'gun-shot thunderclap of confidence leaving the room', anais. Do you EVER lose your confidence? I don't think that I do, though my wife may lose hers in/about ME! ! ! : )
Gee, I guess I commented a year ago as well. Well, well, well! : )

I would like to translate this poem
I like the sudden declivities of your neural riverbed...the swoops and loops of your personal roller-coaster...your kaleidoscopic and richly emotional self-narrative, which you are able to mine for zingy phraseology.
what a wonderful comment =]
