Notes About The Poem

Venomous

With sibilant voice
you spew venomous words
like poison
              dripping
                              from
                                          a vipers fangs
If only you could taste
your own bitterness
would you continue?

I do not think they could fathom it, let alone taste it. Well penned!

...'poison' not 'posion'...so not my fangs dripping - but I continue. Out of all the venom read, yours is by far the best, in short...so far. Labyrinth. x

Ouch!! I know what you are talking and I agree. There are many that like to sink their fangs in, never letting go either. I have dealt with a Venomous bite before. At the poetry site that I am the Admin over. She's not there anymore. Jealousy is an ugly trait. Very much so. ~ Brandy
