A light hearted look at cyber gossip.


People Are Beginning To Talk by M.A.Meddings

People are beginning to talk
Simply about you and me
I think they all begin to see
What is  really
Behind our  words

How damned absurd
They think
Something is going on
It is really a shame 
They have no ther game  
To be playing

Why do they keep on saying these things
I mean to say
Does your heart have wings
To traverse the miles ?
And after all 
Cant really call
This friendship anything but that

Why only the other day
A friend just happened to say
And how is your lady
The one you've been wooing
So openly
What is there to see
About you and me

The fact that I praise your poetry
Has nothing to do
With the heart of me 
Its simply a part of admiring your text
So what is next?
Are we kissing?
Oh! no not yet
But its better than even bet
I want to
And so do you 

But there is nothing
Thats going on
After all
Friends do kiss in a small way
No not every day
Just occasionally

So when  I raise
The matter of your eyes
And that look of surprise
When I say you are pretty  
Isnt it a pity?
That people talk

So what if I think you are beautiful
And your poetry so soft and gentle
Ok so?
You remind me of Monroe
Shall I go?
Is it so terrible
That you make me tremble
Like she did 

I'm afraid people will talk
About the way I walk
With a skip in my step
And yep!
You can say I like you
You can say that too
If you really want to
That I love you
But you know how people will talk

Oh this is great write again but who cares of people talk let be free in our dreams and thoughts and not be afraid to love!
It's not a crime at all! Let send each other smiles in this cyber space through, let be genle and nice and caring too, let keep each other in a nice mood let be friends at last! Or sometimes lovers too what is wrong with this what is not good? Oh and people what they can know if they are not undertsand anything at all dont care of them but yes let them know what is right and how you see this life and be so beautifful as you are! Forever!

I love this poem. It might be a dressing down but its too much fun to do anything but make me giggle and want to ask, WHO are people talking about???? It's fun to speculate. I got a hunch or two about the subject but I'm not talking. Frankly I think every woman on this site is in love with you. Or at least the idea of you cause as I've said before, you devil, you've got the words. And I think you are in love with womanhood and romance and what woman can resist a man like that. Let the talkers talk and you just keep writing that pretty stuff!

I should add: Sure would be fun to find out! For all I know, exchanging meaningful e-mail is better than the old-fashioned way of getting acquainted! ;-,?

Relationships based on
a few poems,
a pic,
and maybe a co-write or two:
How many of them would survive
a meeting, face to face?

Great write, hero!

you are a clever poet Michael. I love the gentle way you have addressed this issue, getting your point across with the lash of a feather. (and by the way did you hear that @@@@ and ^^^^ are writing together some very romantic poetry and do you suppose he might send her a rose. And did you know that ****** and %%%%%%% spoke on yahoo and, and, and, and, ...) LOLOLOL psssst! don't tell. : ) xxx

I am firmly convinced that a heart's wings can travel many miles, hero

the poem is very nice, the main idea very true, the whole assembly beautiful :)
some people find gossip interesting and fit for an every day activity, even feel like dying if they don't have a subject to talk about:D so, why ruin their pleasure, dear michael? let them talk! because they will talk anyway :))

and I say well let them .. My guess they envy the things you two share ... it is strange though that people have so little going on in their own lives that they have the time to take time gossiping about others ...

a nice and frank writing that should put an end to people talking ... friends give us a skip when we walk so let people talk and envy the feeling that gives life a touch of joy ...
