About This Poem

Trial and Denial

Again I'm put on trial,
a judgment so tortuous;
but you are in denial–
to see that takes no genius.

When letting go of a grudge
I see you're in no hurry;
but who appointed you judge?
I've yet to see your jury.

So quick to point your finger
at everyone except you;
you're an adult, act mature.
You have confessing to do.

Go on, confess whenever 
the truth you refuse to face;
you can't deny forever
that you're a complete disgrace.

You love to play the blame game
so let's play another round;
what's wrong– are you too ashamed
to turn your finger around?

    I have picked this one up for a start because of the title and Wow! I was not diappointed. Every stanza is like from the film J'Acuse; You have made some strong statements and justifyable so. I enjoyed reading it I will read more of yours. (Thank you for reading mine, greatly appreciated)

    This is really good one. I have felt so angry at someone that I wanted to write them a poem just like this one. In fact I did write one but it was so bad, I never showed anyone. I really like YOURS.

    Looks like somebody got ran over by a quaTrain lol. I don't often post my poems that express my anger, but I feel the emotion when I read this poem. Great work.

    Re-reading this gem! The last line is PERFECT! There is one particular person from my past who should read this poem. Awesome job, as usual. And to answer your question on my pottery poem, I did take a pottery class last year and loved it!! It was like meditation for me - I totally lost myself in it. I'm on a tight budget right now, but hope to take another class soon!

    Yes, those perfect humans, non-humans who want the world in their own image. Wonderfully written with deep psychological overtones and a clear message. Thank you.

    Very well penned Anne, great flow, great message, there are so many in this world who think their sh** dont stink. Way to go on exposing the truth. BLESSINGS, carl

    awesome, Anne, this would be a scenario in many situations today, this is so well written..

  1. Date: 12/13/2012 10:51:00 PM

    What makes this so special is the truth behind it! I think everyone has been on both sides of this story at least once in life. I love that you can take any situation and/or memory and find a way to share, release, and express it in such a skilled and creative way. This will benefit in numerous ways as a writer. Excellent job!

    nice to hear from you, glad you have gotten through part of the hard stuff. I hope you have done really well. Good night.

    You are a psychological genius. Freud said something about poets knowing his work well before he ever knew anything. Nice job!

    Awsome poem Anne. Conceptually and cohesively, you broght it all together. It can be a confusing subject matter. We all get so hurt by each other. hhhhhh. :)

  1. Date: 11/6/2012 2:37:00 AM

    Well penned Anne! Denial is the first reaction when it comes to trial, but if it's persistent then there is something to worry about. I like the last question posed - shame and fear of the consequences are major deterrents when it comes to confession. Keep writing!

    Very expressive and powerful poem,Anne! If its from a real life experience..you sure nail it good.Take Care Anne! Hugs,Arild

    If your writing about someone in your life who is hurting you then hand them a book called ''The Power of now'' by Eckhart Tolle... Great write expressing such raw emotion :)

  1. Date: 11/4/2012 6:09:00 PM

    Your poems have a way of making me connect to the raw emotion. Anger can be such a powerful tool when harnessed properly. Good Job Anne. I am still wondering what happened to your other Poem, I really really liked it.
