Careless Whisperer Comments

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! : )

(cont.) '...The term is used to reclaim the word and empower women and girls to have agency over their own sexuality. Gender-based violence can be a result of -shaming primarily affecting women. Wikipedia'

SLUT-SHAMING: 'Slut-shaming is the practice of criticizing people, especially women and girls, who are perceived to violate expectations of behavior and appearance regarding issues related to sexuality. (cont.)

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.

anais, your reply to Ron may have upset his nervous system. He ain't young, ya know? I found your comment very funny, ...though I did not laugh.

I'd pay ten USD to know the WHOLE STORY. bri : )

Loved this poem. The world is so treacherous, life so unpredictable. One may stop to think whether Sun would rise tomorrow!

Really a concise and insightful piece on backstabbing, well articulated and nicely brought forth with conviction. Thanks for sharing and do remain enriched.

The ugly fallout of gossip and backbiting is aptly captured in the poem. An insightful work of art. Thanks for sharing and do remain enriched.

Wonderful expressed, Anais. I liked this poem. Stay safe!

Bravo! It's hard to believe you're only sixteen!

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 What wonderful expressions are you writing dear poetess at your young age. you have great talent. thank you. tony

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?

" Some sharings are dagger-edged" ...exceptional poem! 10!
