I worried that your wife would see
The messages you sent to me
Would it matter in the end
If she knew I was more than a friend

Would they care, here on this board
Would we be skewered with pen and sword
Would our names be bandied about
If our love we proclaimed in shout

Do we care if they gossip our name?
We take what we can and feel no shame
Who cares what it is we do
You love me and I love you

I hear the whispers as we post tonight
Is she the one who gives him delight?
Is he the man she'll love e're more
I hear them tally their gossips score

Well written Sharon, and frightening in a sense, at how quickly gossip and rumours can spread. An important topic ... you've captured this well.

Now me? I just love everybody, let the gossip begin, LOL!  

Best wishes,

I'd like to think there is NO gossip about me..but I'm sure there is...no matter. I know who I am and what I do...and I'm not worried.

Poet deVine...notwithstanding the attempted humor of my post on this delicate subject, one is sympathetic. Perhaps Severn's three little words, each receiving equal emphasis, is the most and the best that can be said. Take care.  Bob

Well.. we all make choices as to what we do..and I figure those choices are up to the people making them, and not for me to comment on.

Nice verse... and a few thoughts in there which should be pondered..

Thanks for the read!

My dear Ms DeVine -

I'll have you know, my dearest friend,
I have no knowledge of what you do.
(I just make it up and then send
It to everyone who might know you).

I'll have you know, dear Ms DeVine,
Your secrets with me you can share
(I'll mete them out one at a time
To anyone who wants to hear).

So trust in me, my friend for life,
You need to talk?  I'm here!
(I hope I don't get caught by Lorelei
'Cuz she will kick my rear).

Sharon - How are you?  I hope all is going well for you.

Sadly, there are those here that would, as with every group of people, there are some who don't have interesting lives of their own, they have to feed on the lives of others to feel full.

And to them I would say:

It's NUNYA!

Good write, PDV!

Let others gossip, if they feel they HAVE to.  I'll mind my own business, as should everyone.  I wish you well and thank you for yet another fine poem.

Great write...tell ya what...I only know a handful of people in here, and rarely chat online anymore, so, I don't hear/know any of the gossip, nor do I spread any!  I just go along with my own business, enjoying pure poetry, without worrying about 'to whom not to reply,'  and just working on getting more reads and replies in!!  Nicely written, though!

it was love that first drew me,
it is love that will keep me here...
now I see love burning brightly
when everything else is unclear...
