This poem is somewhat a continuation of the poem "Lacking Eloquence" I have now posted the name and author of the book! As the friendly contest is over!

I will be doing a Blog on my site, and in the evenings a discussion of the chapters I have read so far in the book. Sure would be nice anyone with an historical background of the UK during these periods.

2.2 Prologue (1123)

2.3 Part One (1135–1136)

2.4 Part Two (1136–1137)

2.5 Part Three (1140–1142)

2.6 Part Four (1142–1145)

2.7 Part Five (1152-1155)

2.8 Part Six (1170-1174)

 

Poetic Cyanide

You may have seen
Cinderella’s poison undressed
A few moments obscene
Where the people claiming hold to beauty
Pretend to be the victums
It’s sick to see a bully
Shed tears and play the world for fools
However cyanide nor mediocrity will do
Never seeing the world in another’s shoe
The Saints do see, looking down on your phew

They can not really write
So no one really views
Why bother with their hatred spewed?
When flowers bloom and better talent is the news

They lie and slander
Even caught red handed
They will say; is you who are blind
They, the beautiful ones, so unkind

Little ones, pretending to have big shoes
They lack eloquence but that’s not news
They are seen for what they are
Jealous of the brighter star

Without their baggage, one can travel far

Andrea Dietrich April 23, 2017 at 8:04 PM I really like this one, Arthur. One of your most entertaining poems I've seen recently on a more serious matter. WRITE ON!!!

Darren White April 22, 2017 at 11:08 PM I am going to read that book too, Art, you have made me very curious now. Arthur Vaso April 22, 2017 at 11:29 PM Darren as I know you love history as I, would be great, and I already love what have taught me on ancient poetry!!!

Constance La France April 22, 2017 at 6:22 PM Arthur I like your poem, so true. The line jealous of a brighter star says it all. Well done. I try yo just avoid the bullies. Arthur Vaso April 22, 2017 at 8:10 PM Thanks Broken Wings, in this case I think you would actually like the book,It takes place in medieval Gothic times, when right and wrong had more to do with position than justice!

Tim Smith April 22, 2017 at 4:28 PM That book has to go on my to read list...I don't understand why people have to put others down. Arthur Vaso April 22, 2017 at 8:08 PM Thanks Tim, its a great book and fro this a few emailed me other great books by him!

Jan Allison April 22, 2017 at 12:28 PM Poisoned words - I've seen so much of it Arthur and so much is open to mis interpretation. I've been asked to write poems on Snow white and Cinderella you have given me great inspiration:-) hugs Jan xx7 Arthur Vaso April 22, 2017 at 12:31 PM I almost feel like saying "well if the shoe fits" Its great to have inspired others, thanks Jan Hugs!

Gary Bateman April 22, 2017 at 12:14 PM Hello Arthur, Let the "Bullies" beware!! Their poison is both dangerous and deadly. Jealously and mendacity be their warp and woof in this life. Those who are truly enchanted and of good heart, can travel far without the infection of a Bully's baggage -- a Bully's poetic cyanide. A very thought- provoking write indeed!! Excellent Work!! Cheers and Best, Gary Arthur Vaso April 22, 2017 at 12:30 PM Thanks Gary! I enjoyed your last write too by the way!
