Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Hear No Evil: Ten Word Challenge

You've driven me very close to the point of not caring,

with your cynical jealousy that's become overbearing.

I cannot tolerate hearing evil in another visceral word.

Your opulent ranting and raving is completely absurd!

The exuberant screaming of so many desultory things,

added to the penumbra visions that all of them brings,

is causing an abysmal chasm in this faltering marriage.

I've heard quite enough of this arguing and disparage.

I simply seek to hear sonorous sounds of our laughter

in a crepuscular place, a halcyon home forever after.

White Sage January 26, 2016 at 6:25 PM now the words are blushing, you've used them excellently, well written....but reality is just always like this poem, we have to live through the sequence, don't we? Lin Lane January 26, 2016 at 6:35 PM Thanks, Sage. Too often it is reality, but verbal abuse should never take place. In a relationship based on trust and mutual respect there would be no reason such a sequence. Living through it would be determined by the level of abuse...and if physical.. well that's a whole nuther story. I'm always happy to read your assessments. ;)
