Disparaging Words

Sleep walking disparaging words careen
without merit,
cast waste lands foul anchored swords
toward resolve.
Silent roads lacking vibrative voice box
of reason
leave fallen cobwebs beyond reality's
cautious reach.
Yesterday's drowned seaweed
of disdained thoughts
burrow treacherous tunnels
toward destruction.
Wake driven soft impressions
delay accidental harm,
sight bearing connection reaches
beyond courtesy.
Rivers of emotional magnitudes rage
through many miles,
meeting oceans vastness with rippled destiny
in hand.

seems there's a lot of reading between the lines lately... people's feelings getting hurt... and that kinda thing.... of course, sometimes poetry isn't all that clear and the only thing we can do is TRY to interpret... sometimes, we get it wrong, i think... who knows?

i was always one to directly address those who might make remarks which could be  interpreted as "disparaging". Actually, just recently this happened, and i emailed a poet on this site and what she was trying to say was EXACTLY the opposite of how i took it. God, i was so embarrassed... now we are becoming great friends... of course, i don't believe in dropping names, so i won't say who it is... hehe   point is, had i not asked her directly what she meant by what she wrote, i would have continued thinking there was something negative and have had hurt feelings... i'm really glad i asked her

anyway, your poem here shows hurt feelings very well... it's a good write, gloria... your writing gets better and better and i'm glad to see you writing straight from your heart, because that is what makes good poetry.

hope you are well...
