Debbie Duncan Poet Dramatic Monologue

Over Heard Conversation

Overheard conversation today.
As I was sweeping leaves that way.
And he's talking to one of his friends.
I heard his words flowing my way.

I hear him say ~ "and she says to me".
I saw that,  where did you get it?   
Now I know, I'm moving out from you.
He says,  well, I really don't give a # % .

That's when the tape recorder starts in 
my head.

Aries is in the midnight skies now.
So be careful of what you say.
Make sure your words don't cut deep.
For the words you speak, will surely be 
the karma you keep.

I thought to myself, boy, am I glad, I don't 
speak off the cuff.
Make sure you speak softly when Aries is 
in the midnight skies.
Aries is a war sign, did you not know?   



5/ 2010  Yes,  I did hear him telling some other guy this about his g-friend. She left with the baby. It seems Aries is again in the skies now as well: Kim Jung-un.

Sara Kendrick August 6, 2013 at 11:02 AM Interesting work..Don't know about what the signs in the sky mean but do know if you give out bad to a person it will usually come back to give bad to you..Enjoyed reading this afternoon..Also, woman are designed to be multipliers..If you give her some money to buy groceries, she will prepare you many meals..If you give her love, she will give it back fourfold..If you give her a house, she will make it a home..If you give her discord, negative words, abuse,etc. she will give you hades..Sara Debbie Duncan August 6, 2013 at 2:12 PM Thanks for reading Sara ;}

Timothy Hicks April 21, 2013 at 9:05 AM Interesting! The way you worded this was so captivating. I can't help but gawk at people as well... somethings heard can't be un-heard. But I think Duke Beaufort said it best. Debbie Duncan April 21, 2013 at 10:46 AM Thanks for reading Tim ;}

Duke Beaufort April 14, 2013 at 5:54 PM Debbie, there is a story where a person who is always hurting people is instructed by a counselor to take a feather pillow to the mountain top and scatter all the feathers. Then he is instructed to go back to the mountain the following day and collect all the feathers which he (of course) can not do. The wise say that the words are like the feathers from a pillow. Once they are out in the air, they can not be taken back. In any case, I thank you for your kindness as always. Be well. Debbie Duncan April 15, 2013 at 1:43 AM Interesting Duke ;}

Suzanne Delaney April 13, 2013 at 3:08 PM so eerie I never think of the stars in this context but it is so true we often speak words we can never take back. We would all be well served to heed this wisdom.....so glad I stopped by. Incidentally I am in Hawaii and we have hd threats before from this leader. We can only pray his missile hits short and sunk to the ocean depths and not on our small vulnerable islands. SuZ Debbie Duncan April 13, 2013 at 4:47 PM so true SuZ ;}

Robert Johnson April 11, 2013 at 4:52 PM Borrowed trouble costs too much. :) It's better you should own. Then when your yard is all cleaned up, you shouldn't need a loan. :) I'm an Aries by the way. But it's alright, have a nice day. :) Debbie Duncan April 11, 2013 at 5:27 PM then you must feel your energies flowing ;}
