The tongue smooth and the voice syrupy Luring those with a sweet tooth Like bees to a honey pot Once captured the tone would change Becoming peppered with stinging hot jabs meant to harm like salt in a wound Beware the master of deception Copyright © 2023 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Punam is hosting Monday Quadrille at D’Verse.

Senryu It does not matter If my words are never heard It’s enough I spoke Copyright © 2022 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved
My words do not reach you anymore They hang heavy in the air, waiting to be heard Full of love, passion, anger, questioning But your ears are closed to them They fall to the ground unanswered As is always the way You, too busy speaking your own truths to care about my thoughts and dreams I die a little death each time this happens Over time parts of me become numb Where the life once used to be Benign stumps from which nothing will grow Neglected like a plant trying to thrive in a closet No sunshine to nurture life or water to quench its thirst When the desire to speak and be heard is eventually lost Then that is when you will hear me no more The only sound to be heard will be you Talking to the wind Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Mish is hosting Open Link Night at D'Verse Poets tonight

Good Wednesday morning! I have always loved learning new words, don’t you? I came across this one yesterday and really liked it. There are some rare moments in my life where I think I can definitely say this would aptly describe me. I would most likely have had a large glass of wine after a very hard day and I would dare anyone to mess with me! I certainly hope you can enjoy this word too.
Have a great day and be Unfuckwithable!
