Eve Roper Poet Rubaiyat

What Is Your Hypocrisy

Little old man, lived in the front pew,
                           Praying his beads and singing his hymns with virtue
                     While at home,  he gossiped and construed about everyone
          Brazen he’d go down to the saloon and have a few and argue about his view

Richard Lamoureux April 18, 2015 at 8:17 AM You have expressed the theme eloquently! Eve Roper April 18, 2015 at 8:37 AM Thank you,Richard, senses like these always remind me of the movie the “Godfather" hugs Eve

Laura Breidenthal April 18, 2015 at 3:35 AM A well-written Rubaiyat. It's interesting to see others' perspective of the theme for the contest. Very nicely done.It is part of our human nature. It is rather disgusting to witness hypocrisy in society, yet we can often find it in ourselves, unless one is in denial. Always, Laura Eve Roper April 18, 2015 at 8:52 AM Thank you,Laura. I have found out that through all the readings in all the poem contest, I have read, they are’re all different , just like a class in still life painting, it might be the same scene but every artist sees the scene different and use different color hues. hugs Eve

Kp Nunez April 18, 2015 at 2:08 AM I guess that kind of person can be found anywhere regardless of religious affiliation. A 7 for this factual observation, dear Eve. :) Kim Eve Roper April 18, 2015 at 8:55 AM Thank you, Kim, Blessings and hugs dear friend Eve

Laura Leiser April 17, 2015 at 11:02 AM This poem is such a revealing and convicting study in hypocrisy, Eve. Excellent write, a 7! Eve Roper April 17, 2015 at 12:50 PM Thank you, Laura, reality is all over. Blessings dear friend

Hannington Mumo April 17, 2015 at 2:14 AM Well-captrured dear. However, the matter of religiousness and spiritualism is a hard one to talk about. Anyway, my appreciation and a 7+! Eve Roper April 17, 2015 at 12:54 PM Thank you so much for the 7 and reading my poem, Hammington, yes it is hard to talk about. Blessings dear friend Eve
