Royal Displeasure

Just like the days of the old Pharisees, they who accused Jesus of heresies; She points with self-righteous indignation, yet herself, is the naked temptation. Miss High and Mighty, thinks she’s always right, makes computations with limited light. Monochromatic malicious mindset, jealous of someone, she aims to upset. You poke and pry, think I’d quietly die, go stick with your tribe but don’t multiply. I have been patient, been lax but not blind; I'm rarely this mad, enough with your kind. Think twice before you start breaking my bone; “Let him who is blameless, cast the first stone.” 28 October 2015 Mad as a Hornet Contest Sponsor: John Lawless

Kim, I found this sonnet to read and flow easily. Having been stung by a hornet once I know that they don't mull over their decision to strike or its consequences. Thanks for entering this smooth flowing and well written piece in the contest.

Modern day Pharisees deserve to be admonished, same like those in the new testament were 2 thousand years ago. The ending couplet is written with a warning sticker attached. #7 Hugs // paul

WOW, lately lots of this is going on around here. KIM, I enjoyed the ending reference. I wonder if something is bothering! You are a lovely person/poet. Wishing you the best, I know John is going to love this. I know I sure do. Kim, thank you for the wonderful tap on my shoulder a few minutes ago. I read the poem, Armand wrote. Truly touching. I got first dibs. LOL. thank you, hopefully you stop by his poem again. Have a wonderful time on here.... LINDA

Your words, arrows of indignation aimed at those who have made their business to belittle other people in order to appear great themselves! I have been fighting them all my life although lately do not spend energy to honor them with my reply! Bravo!! Excellent writing dearest KIM! A seven ++

Very creative write, Kim. Being a good Christian does not mean enduring abuse. There is a time to speak out and clear the air. Your comments bellow show the write is written from the perspective of someone dealing with bullying. This fits well into the contest theme, dear. Wish you all the best. Hugs

Thank you, Eileen. Coming from someone who has managed to fight and succeed in getting support from the management of this site to stop/expose perpetrators of silent bullying, your wealth of experience will benefit those who were previously suffering in silence. Thanks! Bless you and hugs!

I really dislike people who have that "holier than thou" mentality. You portray the feelings well Kim...I love the alliteration especially with "Monochromatic malicious mindset." Good luck in the contest.

I gather you are not happy with someone, and I almost think it might be an old friend. Could be wrong. But I liked the rhyme.
