Rumors

Rumors
(A Hesitatelet Poem)




Rumors have a vicious bite.
They sting!
Where truth isn't always in sight.
A fling!

They often hurt.
They're lies!
They toss the dirt.
She cries!
So, if you're alert.
It dies.

Respect each person's dignity.
Think first!
We need a loving community.
Not worst!

So, don't prolong a rumor's life.
Move on!
They're like cutting with a knife.
It's wrong!
You can reduce the cause of strife.
Be strong!

Kill a rumor.
Offer humor!

Just an Experiment in Style

This is a Hesitatelet poem, sponsored by Ritchie, 9999pool. I came across this while reviewing his poem, Mama's Last Words. Here's his notes.

This is a new form/style developed by 'Cookie333" called "Hesitatelet" with the following rules:

For every non-rhyming couplets of two (2) lines -

Line 1: A complete sentence, or multiple complete sentence combinations (noun/subject and verb or with adjective, if desired)
Line 2: A two-word statement expressing a motion or commotion (contractions are suitable and count only as one word. For example: I'm, it's) consists of a subject with a verb or adjective (two words total). The main essence is the hesitation of this 2nd line which allows readers to 'pause' and reflect - hence a 'hesitation' and the name 'Hesitatelet'.

So here's my first attempt at it.
