Rumours Poem by Rani Turton
Rumours
They say that your hair is going grey
That you are alone today;
Nobody knows where you go to
When you go away
They say that you have saddened
That your children look after you well
They say that you are gladdened
When news of me comes your way
They say that you are quite the same
But sometimes, when they speak my name
They see you pause; but then that is
The consequence of the silence of years.
Rumours say that after all this time
After all these years that you were not mine
That after all this time, you rarely smile
Rumours say its been a long long while.
Rumours say that when last I came to the city
You left, and what a pity
That I hadn’t seen you for so long
But now, that is an old, old song.
these are the old songs which are our favourite, , , keep going rani, , , exellent write
'...you rarely smile rumours say its been a long long while....' here the construction is very good... at times rumours become facts and facts are retold as rumours...a sincere write...10
you are amazing at bringing up creative ideas keep up the good work! ! ! : -)
Rumour has it - you tell the tale of many a poet.... this really really got me, you are very good at revealing the inner angst
As many people fall victim to the hurt caused by Rumour...it doesn't really matter as most people make up what they don't know......seeing is believing truth stands out the illusion quashed.........excellent piece as always with your work 10+ best wishes Jon.
Rumours are full of danger, aren't they? Perhaps we should only believe what we see for ourselves. Good poem, Rani. Fx
