The Throes Of Skepticism

Truth against Slander.

She was highly strung.
Sacrificed at Trust's altar,
He was strung highly.

Author's Note

A Senryu. Self defence against slander.

Any comments are appreciated.

No way to be, but sometimes we don't pick our fate.

[Doodley]

Thank you for reading and reviewing, Josie. Very true words. I appreciate the comment.

You're welcome--short review for a short poem. :)

[Jimmy Yetts]

Not sure if her "high strungedness" somehow caused him to be "strung highly."
Whatever the case, he certainly got the worse deal.
Smart word play!

[Doodley]

Thank you for reading and reviewing, Jimmy. He certainly did get the worse deal, too right. I appreciate the time.

Now in the peaceful valley of death they may just get it together. It seems sometimes that's what it takes.

[Suhd]

Says so much being so short. Pithy and remarkable :) Thanks for sharing

[Doodley]

Thank you for reading and reviewing, Suhd. I appreciate the comment.

[Andronicus]

Not only strung but stung. Nothing quite like the sting of being stabbed in the back huh. Compact little one this and as always, en pointe. Vive la revolution.

[Doodley]

Thank you for reading and reviewing, Andronicus. I appreciate the comments. And the comrades send you best wishes for your exams!

[Andronicus]

merci comrade. now they are done I can start chipping away at everything I want to read/review here!

[Doodley]

Done? Oops. Thought they were in progress still. The revolution's spies were misinformed it seems.

[Silente]

Your poetic domain never ceases to amaze me, whether it be a scientific ballad, or a tightly wound Senryu... (A form I favor HIGHLY over Haiku)... So much said within such little... Once unraveled... It is an entire world of thought...

[Doodley]

Thank you for reading and reviewing, Silente. I appreciate the kind words. I much prefer longer pieces myself, but sometimes the words resist to flow and a shortie is all one can manage.

[Silente]

I hear you on that one... If the shortie is fully engaging and worth it... Then it can certainly outshine longer writes... My pleasure, mate

[DIVYA]

A clever placement of words conveys the abject despair underlying an abusive relationship. Appreciated so much...

[Doodley]

Thank you for reading and reviewing, Divya. The appreciation for your comments is all mine.

[DIVYA]

You are most welcome.
