I'm sorry
if my words leave a
foul taste
upon your tongue
The candied
words you seek
are far too sweet
to fall from this
embittered
pen

If one feels embittered by the actions of another, sweet candy words would not ring true. It is best to speak honestly even if it leaves a bad taste in the other person's mouth.

~ Hoping that the candy words will soon spill from your mouth, because they are in your heart!

Yes, Raph, truth IS always better to say (or write). If it's not "real", the hearer (or reader) can usually tell, don't you think? Though some of the writers here still sometimes fool me....

Aenimal,

It has taken me awhile to realize some people do write exclusively for this board. I've always written ......(far past) for whomever, (layman, non-poet) who don't necessarily look for 'type', but often say, "It seems you wrote this just for me." I KNOW I've offended some here and I also KNOW that same poem was an affirmation for anothers. Also don't know if you are specifically referencing this site-these poets, but I just found even more forums, here, on which to post. Some of mine should have been posted in a different forum, (most recent: "I, The Lumberjack")  I think, but if they are too far off base a moderator would notify. I personally like a variety, emotional, as well as other themes. Any kind of emotional works for me, and I find it interesting to view others perspectives and heartfelt anything negative or positive....

I also think your poem may have nothing to do with fellow poets.


Thanks, Hugs and regards, Pat
