Reason A. Poteet Poet Rhyme

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.

Krish Radhakrishna May 2, 2020 at 1:59 PM 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!
