Ghosts spawn in the seepage
of pustulous words,
they mimic and mock,
torment and taunt.
Truth is known,
but lies are chosen,
darkness breeds black fire.
Originals are better than remakes.
About Me
- Pat Paulk
- 2009! 57 years ago in April I was a 2# squealing baby boy. Got a wonderful tan in an incubator. Made friends with plastic tubing, needles and tape. All of which I have zero recollection. I've been well watered and fertilized over the years, and grown quite ripe. Plastic tubing, needles and tape are catalysts for flashbacks without the buzz. Enjoy!

I've seen gangrene. You've described it perfectly.
Lies do infect and rot. Well done.
Powerful stuff, Pat! I particularly like "Ghosts spawn in the seepage / of pustulous words". Good one.
The first two lines just get embedded it mind..
My first reaction was...What is this!

Oh, did someone say something terrible t you, Pat? I completely understand this poem (or at least I've interpreted it to relate to seomthing that I understand).
The music from the start perfectly prepares the way for
Truth is known,
but lies are chosen
Hey, where's Yoda?
Seriously, Pat, this is powerful stuff!
...from the chronicles of the underbelly of human relations. ;-)
Seven strong, lean lines. This is a muscular little poem of dark truths. Wonderful!

(and you use them well)
Great piece. Bonus points for finding poetic use of the word pustulous.
Reminds me of my son's VeggieTales movie about the Rumor Weed.
