Listen to poem:

waders flaunt in flock
loosely lingering, gossips --
with squawks and squabbles...

The sky has its opinions;
Although, it never gossips;
It may change its clouds for you;
Just to entertain.

Our church held a Chastity Walk
Where old folks just stand there and gawk
Our numbers are few
But what can one do
When gossips have eyes like an hawk?...

She gossips way more than she should
Most things she said wasn't good
She got in a fight
In the middle of the night
And wonder why she was misunderstood...

Bengali women squatting

There's a fellow named Robert O'Toole.
He's the principal down at the school.
He cut classes today,
So the gossips all say.
Went fishing for bass in the car pool....

They're talking again about gossips, compromisers and back stabbers, 
Every month or so something's said about them 
Do we not know by now what a bad personality is?...

The one who gossips,
is usually the worst,
of everyone they talk about,
and everyone they curse.

Trying to belittle,
those they hate,
these sort of people,
always take....

Confined shoes 
Toes struggle
Toes gossip
Barefooted
Cross - legged
Toes tangled
Gossip too
Closed door
Round table 
Voted compromise
No gossips 
Open air 
Mouth gulps food
Mouth giggles 
Teeth gossip too...

Listen to poem:

(Another childhood or teen years poem.)

Newsprint small talk
in Mediocrity's lead pot
rustles and gossips while,
splashed spectacularly across
the speckled page of
Society's intellect,
a murder making column one
hides the hushed massacre
of minds....

some news reporters love madly
to barge into your 
privacy

if you're a hot celebrity
or one with 
notoriety.

they publish from your diary
sour secrets and soggy 
laundry;

their report, written, said or sung,
hard candy on the gossips' 
tongue!...

Under the wind 
of an electric fan
the old balladeer sounds 
like a tired man,
blinks his bleary eyes 
as fast as he can;


breath reeks of nicotine 
and of stale rum,
crooning his song 
with a gravelly hum,
the captive audience gossips 
and chews gum!...

Whispers unheard
Among gossips 
The truth becoming
Unknown
Gertrude tells Harriet
Then Mayble tells Juliet 
That the Milkman
Is sleeping with
Evelyn
Unbeknown to all
Fredrick the Milkman 
Was gay
He was happy to
Sleep with
Evelyn
While her husband
Was away...

When I learned what harmony is
I learned how to survive
Gossipers' gossips 
They painted me lies
And so they put me
behind their quiescent shadows
Yet my life is completely fine
I care nothing more but myself
Don't care if they soar their names high.

music in the trees
gossips teem in green bowers
marigolds abuzz

cracker butterflies
among burgundy roses
twittering away

hollyhocks abuzz
with news of the honeybee
such blues pinks and blacks

crickets go screaming
near the endless babbling brook
in the orange dusk...

A nuisance of echoes
a state resonates with
I don't know whether it
is nothing
claiming too to bake
cakes 
listen now to masquerades
repeating nightmares gossips
as some things
those too impersonating
the world's times
on clocks
ahh! they make noise
perhaps to reap heaps....

In a world of magic,
Silent speaks across the winds,
Where trees scatter news,
Of places with loving beings.

In a world of logic,
Gossips speaks together with sins,
Are spread by sweeten lips,
With countless sorrow and pain.

The old balladeer sounds 
       like a tired man.
Under the wind of an 
       electric fan,
he blinks his bleary eyes 
       as fast as he can.


His breath reeks of tobacco 
       and stale rum.
As he hiccups through songs with 
       a coarse hum,
the drunken audience gossips 
       and chews gum.

I am not ashamed, if, I am that black and small
I have the patience of the saints and time for all
And, whenever I am called I answer right away
Just as from anybody, whether a friend or enemy
I take greetings, news, gossips, and all messages
I keep it just as it is, and I never throw it in a bin  
Oh! I am not really talkative, only a good listener...

A dysfunctional child covered in mud
If her mamma didn't clean her do you think a stranger would?
dirty looks and filthy nails
gossips, rumours and funny tales
labels that stick and wont wash off
she is a tree with a damaged root
she grows no flowers
she grows no fruit
Broken trees can’t grow wings
This little girl resorted to other things

This contest today, i want to vote for her
This newsletter of the day, i want to talk of her
She is a woman of virtue, collected in her ways
She never gossips, she never starts rumors 
She is a professional woman, with only one goal
             To be an angel in this earth

You are,
Worse than excuse letters..
Worse than gossips..
Worse than political promises..

He is,
Worse than pictures in advertisements..
Worse than punches in wrestling..
Worse than his accent..

She is,
Worse than her eyelashes..
Worse than forever..
Worse than happy ending..

Cause they,
Don't die (though I hope they do),
They simply,
Multip-lie.....

As if to spy upon
some rapt adjourn
more devellish
than their own ~
existing for the slug of virtue
from some forgotten dream

Their aim ~
outdated with resent
yet stealthy earned.
Their ears, like prodding volts
reversed to bring return.

Life's focus ~ now forgotten
with its yearn,
seeking noticed space
that all but clutters . . . 
     nothings
     scorn!...

A mean ugly rumor was started about Santa Claus
It zoomed around the world with nary a pause
Gossips added to it, making it worse and worse
When Mrs. Claus heard it, she took out her purse

She recorded people and followed the rumor back
To a disgraced elf who was hiding in Santa’s sack
He was ashamed, when he met her kindly eyes
Horribly embarrassed, he soon apologized....
