Rumours Poems

Rumours

Screaming rumours frightened the wings
out of pregnant vultures — and the city hall
shook with their sudden flightlessness.
Who could have done this —?
Projecting such banner of hate!
Rumours are spread with red dancing tongues —
embers where loose talks are brewed, and
with the intention of relegating the village to
the back of the jungle league.

      Afternoon ember flare coddles forest
      Nodule noses, from dark bark eyes sap drips
      Naked soldiers, Summer’s subside promised
      Farewell foliage, spun fairy floss gossip
  

      News spew swept

Rumours

She is as pure as Heaven and as cruel as Hell,
She is an angelic devil and always ready to cast a spell.
She's a Thunder yet calm as a lake,
She's authentic but at the same time, she's Fake,
RUMOURS say that her life is a bed of roses,
But she's dangerous and has deadly poses!
Her beauty and charm

Premium MemberRumours

People tell rumours
Because they have bad motives 
They're jealous
They snatch from others
They're greedy
They're overbearing
They're mischievous
But I tell only because I'm careless
I'm simple, straight forward
I believe my senses
I believe what I see 
And so people pretend to be friendly
I believe what I listen 
And so people say sweet words 
I tell my feelings 
And so people

When Dumb Folk Hear Rumours

Dumb people hear rumours and go all out attack 
Clever folk hear them and want extra facts 
The Dumb come at you firing accusations 
The Clever come at you asking questions 

So quick to jump to a full gone conclusion
when only one outcome is there for the choosing 
When you hear gossip you allow its

Premium MemberConfusion

It takes life long 
To study the world
Or its people
Because it's complex
Always in a state of confusion and chaos
Anything can happen
Rumours can be turned into truths 
Truths can be turned into fallacies
So
Look before you leap
Think thrice before you act
Consequences and dangers can spoil and kill
Truths are hard to reveal sometimes
For a poor man
No time, energy

Rumours

I have a bone to pick with you.
     I heard you spread rumours about me.

     And have endurance.
     Am very smart,
     Have a good heart.
     You like

Premium MemberPlease Don'T Let Me Down

Once upon a time my heart murmured
I wouldn't listen to gossips
I wouldn't listen to fallacies
I wouldn't listen to rumours
And you please don't let me down
However
I'll lend a listening ear to
Only the truth and justice 
Amongst the honest people
At any corner of the world
I'll cock my ears to listen to
Only the truth and justice 
That's embedded

Premium MemberTurn a Deaf Ear

Turn a deaf ear to rumours
Turn a stonely heart to fallacies
Turn a blind eye to briberies
And life will be as happy as
A fish swimming in a clear pool
With soft sunlight
And some shady sea weeds

Premium MemberRumours

Spread like the colour of grey
From  black to white
From white to black
In a different tone 
In an ambiguous form 
To blur the eyes 
To look at the world at a different angle
To interfere mankind's dignity
To question and fight against the truths
To believe whatever fallacies
Regardless of logics and truths

God is the only witness
Who is so loyal to truths
He lives in our prayers 
He lives in our hearts
And he lives in our difficulties
So almighty that
At any circumstances, anytime and anywhere

Premium MemberFears

Fears follow me
Days and nights
Like the shadows
That cast on my way
Blur my directions
Fears follow me
The whole day long
Like the mud
That stuck onto my shoes
And cannot be kicked off
Fears follow me
Todays and tomorrows
Like the rumours
That spread near and far
Overlook my dignity
Fears follow me 
For decades
Like a shield
That blocks the glory 
Of the universe 
But fears leave

Premium MemberSo She Said That He Said They Said That We Said That She Said

So she said that he said they said that we said that she said….
Whenever you hear this, run for your life.
Run hard and fast.
Stay around and your own words will be used against you.

So she said that he said they said that we said that she said….
Get out of there hard and fast.
Do not stay

Premium MemberDotwin's Exclusive Charms Are Her Own

Eve’s serpent is no competitor for Dotwin.
Dotwin betrays your trust faster than she can learn your hair color.
A trickster, she glories in people’s misery.
“Oh, sorry,” she says. “I did not know that was a secret.”

Spreading bad news faster than the Internet,
She sneaks around at work, listening to private conversations
That are now never private.  Making
