The Cloister

“Gossip is the fastest form of communication” seven small homes on a cul de sac seven homes from the rest, set back time passed and brought a mystery seven sets of twins, neighbors see one boy, girl pair all the same age the blond, blue eyes fueled a rage questions asked of mothers alone the father never seemed at home ignorance fueled gossip, bred hate they wanted answers which relate who was the father who so spread from mom to mom and bed to bed answers came, they slowly evolved legal contracts can’t be dissolved their father’s name thus protected never faced charges formally read the secret team had gathered facts they were convinced of evil acts gossip spread certainly fueled it but "in vitro" was named the culprit. Aug 27 2011 Charles Henderson for Rambling’s “Mother” contest

Oh very good ending..I think the end rhyme of the following line are weak [spread/bed] & [protected/read] also since you don't stay with the same number of syllables per line [which is fine] you could tweek it for better meter..seven grand homes the cul-de sacs best/ seven homes set back far from the rest...bred hatred/they wanted to know who was related..okies hope that was of some help..great take on the topic [juicy] light & love
