Don't Take Slander Personally 2

"Woven are these pages in poetic verse, With bare threads of our deepest feelings, You will find laughter, tears and remorse, and words of wisdom, prayer and healings." Slander blossoms, having no real root; critics water down truth with vexation. Taking issue with points that are moot they harvest lies and fabrication. Words poetic strung herein, writers weave musings borne on inspiration profound. Stanzas sewn, grief and joys cleave; Succor, pleas, and vision here abound. March 29, 2020 Krish R poetry anthology contest. first stanza written by Krish Radhakrishna

Congrats on your win! I love simplicity in poems that bring depth of meaning with them! Your poem does! Your second stanza also leads us to a nice conclusion, so yes, hope to weave it in to the anthology!

Everyday words, yet look at what you have done with them; they seem magical now.

Sometimes, simplicity is a good substitute for flair and hyperbole. Thanks, Caren, be safe, be careful, believe.
