Fisayo Aderounmu Poet Verse

Intention

That is like a good intention 
But watch that bad expression. 
It draws so much attention. 
Creating high friction on peoples impression. 
It would be an amputation of your reputation
Capable of your expulsion not minding 
The parable of your redemption.
Good intention plus bad expression 
Is like an explosive. 
Its explosion will leave bad impression.

Humble B July 29, 2012 at 1:38 PM This is one of my favs by you...So true that good intentions mean nothing if expression is not love...Good job here.

Vicky Tsiluma July 23, 2012 at 1:33 AM 'an amputation of your reputation' - nice expression. And you're right, good intention can backfire if it is delivered badly. Lovely verse Fisayo!

Katherine Braithwaite June 29, 2012 at 2:33 PM very good imagery and language.I hope you don't mind if I say you should make it "leave a bad impression" And maybe remove the word "like" in the first sentence,, See how you feel about it I enjoyed your poem very much,Kate
