MOCKING WORDS

Opinions form before words
they swarm every syllable
subjected to recourse the
hollow hoarse, what else
of course.

Reasons fall victim to treason
upon any plinth that shatters,
the faithful rally not now
don't dilly dally.

The brave never behave
fame etched here on the
grave, remembered in verse
departed yet still belong.

I digress at your behest
my time in passing I won't
invest, subjected but none
the less beyond the intersection
of interaction may well detest.

Style / type: 
Free verse
Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

what form this adheres to, But I think I get the gist of it. I believe that you are saying, that unless you speak against something, and risk being called a rebel / hero, you will never stand for something. Don't flip-flop, and don't waste time, just say what you feel. ~ Geezer

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

hi I just noticed a bit of me in what you see in this which is interesting
you are right in what you get from this but there is a little more meaning,
I CAN be very to the point but mostly keep my opinions to my self lol
except when I write ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I am glad you stopped by to my page cheers Gee ,,,,,,,,,have a good weekend ,,,,,,,,,,zigs

I salute anyone who breaks the rules in the interest of art and great poetry writing just as much as I admire poets who craft meter and verse within the confines of good grammar. Walk the tight rope or jump from it and see if you can fly.

Zigs,

having already seen this prior to posting, I have no critique to offer that I haven't already.

I like the theme and fully understand where you are coming from and going to with this piece.

All-in-all, a tidy job...in true 'ziggish' style.

regards,

HS

I like this very much. Sometimes I just get tongue-tied and the right thing to say abandons me until after the fact. Later with my keyboard, I am much more eloquent! Damn it all!

Zigs,

the band name needs to incorporate what we write...so how about:

Lyrically Speaking or Poetically Speaking.

First album: Poetry In Motion

World Tour: Poetry In Motion Tour

Lol!
