Comment from Pearl Edwards
Very cleverly written Senryu poem, June and so very true and even easier to spread rumours in these high tech days. I love the gorgeous artwork, are they pretty and poisonous?
Cheers

Thank you for your positive feedback. Gossip is deadly and social media spreads the poison so easily these days. You just can?t believe all that you hear!
Comment from Irish Rain
Oh, so true!
What a sadly lovely senyru.
Gossip and rumors can totally
destroy people, and even when proven
untrue, leave questions in the minds
of people.
Wonderful Miss June,
blessings...

June,
Your metaphor works for me! Do like your image and color scheme.
It is well written Senryu for the Haiku Club entry.
Methinks you will earn many positive reviews for your poem.

Comment from LisaMay
This is cleverly put... making the setting like a garden to show how if malicious seeds of rumour and gossip take hold then reputations will be damaged. We must nurture each other with kindness.
(I found the font you used a little difficult to read as its condensed thickness allows hardly any space between letters to differentiate them from each other.)

Good idea to change the font - your wonderful words are much more legible now.

Excellent use of the Senryu format here, shedding some light on one of our universal human tendencies 'rumor' and 'gossip' and the potential harm it can inflict

Comment from Jasmine Girl
This is an interesting poem about gossips and rumor that could damage people's reputation. Rumors that are repeated thousand times can be considered as truth.
Well done.

Comment from BethShelby
This is an excellent Senryu. It is sad that rumor and gossip can do so much harm to a persons reputation. It doesn't matter whether the rumors or true or not. If people believe what the hear the damage is done.
