Betty White

Feisty Betty White.
Living life with all her might.
Ignoring all those Tinseltown rumours.
Talk about your late bloomers!

Difficulty

You are crafted
With a purpose
I will journey with you
To reach my goal
You have not failed me
Though I've heard rumours
Success achieved
Goodbye for now

Silent Whispers

Vicious rumours,

Idle gossip,

Talk, that is void of logic,

The horrific drama that

unfolds behind peoples' backs,

shows distaste and lack of

class and decency.

Premium Member Albatross

A hit tune off 'Rumours'
Artists are Fleetwood Mac
Amazing musicans!
Also a sea bird with
An enormous wing span
Airborne beauty in flight
Alternate name - Gooney

Premium Member Unheard

whispered rumours of the true things


drown in  shallows of ego's hubbub

NOTE
The philosopher Walter Benjamin's comment on Kafka's writin was the inspiration for this 
poem


Premium Member The Witness

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

Mystery Material: Roswell, 1947

a mystery
won’t snap or break and can’t be cut 
a mystery
and will go down in history
although they say the case is shut
the rumours started by a nut
a mystery

Premium Member Turn 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

Candles and Scandals

There was an old vandal in sandals,
Who spread about rumours and scandals,
And it seems a mistake
That I baked her a cake:
She gossiped and kicked out the candles.

Humpty Dumpty

All the Kings men were out at the Ball
When rumours say Humpty had taken a fall
But he's still in one piece and without any pain
In fact, he's on holiday, on the south coast of Spain

She Lost Enterest

She is here with me but her 
mind miles and miles away
sleep walks
Sleep Talks 
Where is she?
She is in a journey to far 
for return
Too far for rumours to 
reach
How could she be so far?
SHE LOST ENTEREST

Premium Member if only you knew

if depth goes over not under one’s head ~ is this point clearly misread 

flailing wildly inside a cloud ~ the fog blinds again but rumours spread 

not lies far worse my friend ~ it’s true i don’t know if i’m alive or dead

Limerick Contest

Belt up.

    She was one of those old baby boomers
    Who was constantly spreading false rumours
    But she found all along
    What she said was quite wrong
    Now red faced, she stopped dropping her bloomers.

Snow, Seen For the First Time

If, for the moment, should you
Touching, forgo
The most appealing landscapes
Do make the snow.

But prone as we are to prove
Through a tingling
If painful, those rumours of
What's real or not
Soft, serene what eyes spot
Fingers, freeze in!
Form: Rhyme

'rumours'

Stop the rumours
Don't you know rumours, hurt
Get the facts 
Before you lash back
Fake news makes a person attack
Stop the gossip
Don't bite back 
That only attracts
Find another way to fightback
Why not pray and just sit back
Let 'God' do the payback.

Four weak tools
unused by confidence
Four weak tools
unused by positive people living their bliss

Those who have
Not discovered their own

Champagne Jane

Jane is anything but plain
She is completely insane
From sex she just can’t abstain
Rumours that she does cocaine
To spice up her life mundane
She’s full of words and campaign
Always ready to complain
But in my mind she does reign
my lust for her I can’t feign

You

you tore me to shreds
with idiot lies and rumours
try me again
one word is enough
i won't wait around you'll see
bad decision
one more time
i'm done for
but do you think you do me favours? 
do you think you mend me?
consider me before
you tear me 

r.thomas '10

Dust stain

The shy sky sends rumours of a dustfall,
More murmurs of the impending clouds’ brawl.
The least swirls of dust unleashed ceased the light,
It roars for hours from town center with fright,
Staining gowns brown and making dirts dusty.
The morons, like iron, became rusty.

Premium Member Divorce Acrostic

Dashing of hopes, disappointment, despair, discouragement

Internal struggles, I statements, 

Vicious misunderstandings, vicious rumours

Outrageous miscommunications

Reasonable mourning

Children suffer the most, feeling they created the situation

Everyone's nightmare,

I Shall Not Change

I am myself 
I shall not change

Question my thoughts
I shall not change

Judge me
 I shall not change

Laugh at me
I shall not change

Spread rumours about me
I shall not change

Mimic me
I shall not change

envy me
I shall not change

As long as I do what’s right
I shall not change.

Premium Member Rumours

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

in the shadow of yesteryear-
                                       distortions paralyse to-day's dream
whispered rumours of true things-
                                       drown in the shallows of egos' hubbub
and hidden,almost invisible-
                                      wait prurience,cloaked in desire

.
It as rumours turned to legends
an artwork once seen
none could ever look away
and as the came they stayed
shadows never moved
air was still
wind was stopped
light died upon the contours of the paints
they left the dead
locked in awe
cameras stuck to withered eyes
tears that turned to brittle dust
just one look

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.
