Andrea Dietrich's Contest: Let's Get Emotional-- Personification In A Sicilian Quintain Stanza

How loathsome the murmurs seething around Amid the lies I pitch into a city's mind, That malicious whispers know my sound By ruining your name...am I unkind When friends become bashers, when real truth gets drowned?

I love your poem. I think because it seemed to be more about the topic of gossip and ruining of one's reputation, this is why it didn't score higher.

A lot of reality in the lines you use Nette.! I have found that the liberal usage of truth Highlights a meaphorical rhyme ( with the name of it and the word (ouch!!)

Hi Nette. Yes "friends" who become murmurers, whisperers and back biters are disgusting indeed. Well written

Dear Nette, What a great commentary on the nature of gossip and, yes, its capacity to harm individuals and communities. I think we all need to reflect on the ethical considerations of our venomous words and the importance of seeking truth in all that we do. A Great Entry into the contest! - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

I think no body has taken up Disgust. But you have dealt with it in the most powerful and effective way. We get disgusted mostly when friends and close ones become bashers.... something which we never expect. A great entry. Wish you Nette the very Best in the contest.
