Dear careless whisperer,
Some sharings are dagger-edged
and there is no escape when they're turned on you
no countermagic for the soul crushing embarrassment
dropped as if from a great height.
Did you hear the gun-shot thunderclap of confidence
leaving the room?
Careless whispers can be deadly. I really like this poem. I have five poems, but they are not activated yet. Why does it take so long for a new poet? Some of them were posted three days ago! Did that happen to you when you started?
No, or I just don't remember it happening. Maybe it was SO traumatic I've blocked it… dang, this sounds like something that could take YEARS of therapy.
Holy cow! ! ! ! Look at the breadth of definitions for 'hussy': 'A woman considered to be brazen or promiscuous. A saucy or impudent girl or young woman. The mistress of the house: same as housewife.' five stars *****
I most-enjoyed these words: '..the soul crushing embarrassment dropped as if from a great height.' BOOM! ! ! ! Embarrassed? YOU? Well, put some panties on, you hussy! ! !
I heard no 'gun-shot thunderclap of confidence leaving the room', anais. Do you EVER lose your confidence? I don't think that I do, though my wife may lose hers in/about ME! ! ! : )
Gee, I guess I commented a year ago as well. Well, well, well! : )

I would like to translate this poem
I like the sudden declivities of your neural riverbed...the swoops and loops of your personal roller-coaster...your kaleidoscopic and richly emotional self-narrative, which you are able to mine for zingy phraseology.
what a wonderful comment =]
