Rumors usually are bases in total fabrications. This was a well written poetic voice that speaks on the subject of rumors. This was a well written poem with good advice written into its phrases... John

good alternate-line rhyming
you use this form well to convey a strong message about how to treat other people

Thanks Brooke. I got the idea listening to Adele's song, Rumor Has It.

Hi, Treischel.
Excellent experiment. It works and appears to follow all of the complicated rules you specified for this form. It has good flow and rhyme. I certainly agree with the sentiment. Rumors have not place in enlightened society. I enjoyed it. Think you for being willing to take a chance an experiment.

One hundred percent right with those rumors, most of us live those daily in our life, there are a lot of people who are free and they want to spend the day talking, and the result bad words against us. They don't have the right to do so, I will consider those people are out of my map. They are not on my list ever.

Yep! I agree. The pen is mightier than the sword, but the wagging tongue is mightier still. I hate people who spread rumours. It shows they have nothing better to do, and the people on their tongue are usually good folks who are being picked on because the ones spreading the rumours are jealous of them.

Thank you Alexgeorge. I agree about that too.

Interesting enough. This is a spiritual-type poem that offers advice on dignity and respect. Like the way the author condemns rumors and states they ruin people's life.
