As you scribe your ugly words on an ugly peice of paper, lick the stamp with an ugly evil tongue & throw it in the mail, Do you wonder if i read your ugly letters??¿ Or do you assume i do, afterall,who could resist a letter from you??¿ High society invitations to ugly white weddings, where all the ugly people have angel faces pasted on. Drinking punch that tastes like crap, but drinking it none the less. All the other ugly people are drinking it. Does it ever occur to you, that one person folly may lead to an avalanche??¿ As you mingle,smiling at the ugly people you hate, speaking ugly evil words, veiled in hypocrisy. Do you wonder if they say the same things about you, as you say about them,behind their backs??¿ Or do you assume you are the only one, who plays that game??¿ How silly of your ugly mind to think that. You all think such ugly thoughts when no one is looking, but everyone sees. Some ignore your idiomatic cover ups & some are the very same...ugly. Do you ever wonder just why you don't like me??¿ Is it because i live outside your cages & suburban boxes, Do you envy my freedom??¿ Or is it just because you can't control me, like all your other followers. Either way,i think you are all so full of ugly words, ugly cluttered papers, ugly evil tongues, ugly letters, ugly weddings, ugly angel faces, ugly people.......... who say what they don't mean... And there she weaves by night and day, a magic web of colours gay.~Tennyson |

swamp..youve really painted the ugly picture pretty perfectly as i see it.. how true this part: "Do you ever wonder just why you don't like me??¿ Is it because i live outside your cages & suburban boxes, Do you envy my freedom??¿ Or is it just because you can't control me, like all your other followers." i've known some of the kids of the people who live in those cages..the kids dont want to be like their parents..and dont want to live in those cages...its sad that most of them--controlled by their parents--will end up there anyway, unhappy... good writing.. dg "A Poet's life is on written page; a scenario to take the stage--watch..." dgvarner |

This is a great denouncement poem. I often wonder, also, if gossips realize that they are being gossiped about? I love the way you come back in the end and describe where the ugly people live. What an astute way of characterizing the suburbs. Good poem! P.S. I didn't see menopause anywhere in this poem. Maybe there's hope for me yet!!

Well, you sure were able to make something ugly look good on a screen! lol But of course, who else but La Swampola would be able to do something like that?  This is kind of downbeat, but that doesn't detract from it at all!  By the way, if this is coincidence...when I first saw this, it was directly under dg's poem "Am I"...so in the poems list I saw Am I |dgvarner Ugly |Swåmp¤Faerÿie lol, just thought you'd like to know!

Well swampie you sure see reality as it is. I think anyone with an 'Artistic' mind gets a sense of detachment and can see things for what they are. Conveying this vision in an easily understood way is the mission. with this peice you have succeeded in your mission well. Jon |

Excellent expression here, and very well written. All I could think of reading it was all the big wigs that run our country. |

Swampe, Sure know how to get a message across. Just remember and leave a opening in the catagory of ugly people which you harbour, look deeper, for I can not imagine someone finding these traits in you. Your poetry reflects a heart of gold, deep inner strength, nothing ugly about it. marcy |

Excellent. Sounds like you've had your share of ugly people in this life. Ugly people are so into their game that they usually don't realize others can see through the facade to the ugliness beyond. ...Give me the strength to walk the soft earth, a relative to all that is....

You're right, Swamp. They may have the prettiest painted on faces, but if cruelity lurks beneath the paint, then they are truly ugly. Joy |

Swampie, Got an ol'saying, Ugly people to a eye are those that harbour hate it could be contageous if allowed to germinate look beyond the words into the inner soul perhaps the beauty lies there awaiting to unfold pretty is as pretty does exceptions to be made so when you see a ugly look beneath the skin for ugly is contageous and pretty blends us in |

Hi Swåmp¤Faerÿie Ugly words arise from hypocrites who care too much about what other people ( so called society ) thinks of them, the superiors whom he should satisfy and all other damn things. If a person can rise above it then he can live with certain ethics which he decides for himself. Sincerely A_L |

Don't let him or them bring you down... Find new fields (or swamps...) to frolic in! Powerful but sad poem Swåmpy. I feel concern you go through all this with these phonies. They are best body-swerved! Maybe this is a Glasgow-only expression! As in "I would give them a body-swerve if I were you". To avoid - yes?
