Notes About The Poem

Vengeance Is Sweet

Vengeance worms in its way
after art of submission falls prey
Bass slap riff and chords ring funky, 
beats that warm the brass monkey

I guess it is... but it depends on the situation I guess.... They say revenge is a dangerous motive, but it can be sweet.. I think if someone has been betrayed or deeply hurt, then I can understand vengeance.... sad that it has to come to that though...

Silent One, the title a cliché that says it all, it's a satirical edge and the irony, oh the irony, what a Grook calls for. I am not promoting vengeance, but honestly at times it heals~ It was difficult and not sure if it stands alone, as I rely on the pic above. I had fun either way. I'm grateful I have your thoughts to ponder. Andrea's made it look so easy~ T.C.
