figurative stones and band aid logic

figurative stones and band aid logic

 

 

disparaging verbosity

incriminating spew of sordid sacrilege 

insults hurled as in a stoning

 

cracked vase of emotion

the glassy pond ripples with unease

success counted

 

as she cringes in a state 

of terror

he being its capital.

One reason I never sustained a relationship -- I become this haranguing shrew & it looks every bit as ugly as you describe (yes, crave the drama of crashing glass). As a loner, my intractable ugliness stays hidden in the vase *wink! wink!* fondly, Margie

i can't imagine you a shrew, Margie...but if you were, you aren't now...you are very nurturing poet, whom we all appreciate so much.

I always think I've finally overcome it, but certain situations are triggers . . .

Hurling insults like stones. Oh my, that is not a recipe for togetherness. Ouch, those stones hurt and in rapid succession. Band aid only heals the surface, the real wound remains within. Yes ripples on the pond, that could turn into waves before long. The future looks grim.

Mother Nature came to mind looked after by political leaders who sweep problems under the carpet hoping nobody will see the damage caused,all to make the figures look good.
