Baleful asinine artifice..I was going to put it could be many things.' Then I concluded that They are quite thick..Those we oppose.' Pendantic and predictive its just how they tick !

Whatever wrapping is used, veiled hate is still an act of cowardice. Very well expressed S1 ~ Regards // paul

Awesome one liner. Loved your title. It was the same word on my mask I was wearing in stores a few years back!

Oh, yeah, it can! Add a big smile to those metaphors, and you can REALLY do a number on people! Well said, S.O. Janice

This is very true. That is why innuendo is so naughty.

Yes but innuendo done with taste is ok...innuendo isn't hate..some like to use certain words to offend a whole race of people sadly.. thanks Jude

Oh Silent One, I agree with your final assessment ! I'd rather be a Black Sheep, I may not fit with the rest of the flock but at least you'd know it! Love your Monoku, Happy Thursday!

As long as you don't turn into a wolf and hide in sheep skin, fooling people.. Which I know you will not... Thanks

Interesting! Poets especially reveal themselves between the lines. Very baa’d! Very baa’d indeed!

Yes, and some like to spread lies trying to be clever with metaphors... but so do people in our lives who are not poets.. Thanks Kim..

Yea like baa baa black sheep, but some metaphors are not so deep enough, and some mirror the dirt within ones soul, like the fake eyelashes some wear, or weaves. Looks pretty good for the souls that arent too deep but hate i can feel between words no matter what sorta riddles one writes, i can feel energy through words, and i stay away from dark energy and baa’s arent so good for my kundalini! Lol brilliant powerful monoku. Sorry for the rambling . my comments can be a bit “OFF” sometimes

Nothing wrong with a ramble...thank you
