Rumors

Vile, bittersweet

Poison dripping into gullible ears.

Tell a lie, let it spread like wildfire

For the truth, in reality is a bore.

Yes, rumors. I certainly do question their existence, I mean, rumors spread all the time, and all it does is hurt people. Maybe there's some pleasure spreading it, but you're not being a Saint altogether. Your haiku keenly expressed the disgust one should have towards rumors. I liked the almost cynical approach on the last line. I hope people will understand the uselessness of rumors, to most I have been witness to, myself. I applaud your efforts, good job.

Rumors are a pain in the butt. They only cause trouble. A rumor is what kept me from talking to what is now my bf for the longest time. Turned out they were far from true. Nice piece.

>.> If only I could tell you how much this IS true. I think that no matter where you go and who you are with there are bound to be people who enjoy making falsehoods about others. I have had it done about me hundreds of times and even lost friends over it because they believed the lies. What is even more incredible but a all too familiar reality is that most of today's gossip and lies are spread so easily because of our technology.

I had to smile at this because I have met so many liars lately that say it's ok because it's their choice and their business so they can sugar coat truth if they want.. but why waste the time.. enjoy life.. be true be happy... and leave others alone in the mean time lol..xo excellent write...
