the falling of Karma's hand

it was in the first ray
of morn it birthed
as your ego bruised
the afterbirth of disdain
smeared your face

then as light filament
moved the hands
on a sundial,
your mask slipped
unveiling the next
of contempt

then I knew
this was going to be
the longest day

I smiled and laughed as you
tore minute pieces of my skin
off my torso into streamers,
displaying your humour
to a world wide audience

but then when i thought
your depravity had found its
limits, it found the next

I am bruised as your ego
I hurt and bleed like you

I lent and found
you get back three fold
what you give out

I feel sorry for you
Karma's hand is falling.
you hate me now
and all I feel is pity

LOL

If I can nominate her, I don't see why you can't! I love me some Jayne! ;) But I suppose they wouldn't be implementing that rule into the guidelines if someone wasn't abusing the nominations so that they and their "friends" could share spotlight (and enjoy a good old fashioned game of penis fencing while in the limelight, I'm sure).

Kelsey the new guidelines

Kelsey the new guidelines ask that we dont nominate anyone we have a substanial connection to ... and they dont come any closer than Snake lol so I asked him for my sake not to Nom me anymore ... pmsl bit ridiculous since some of my poems get over a hundred votes and like ones going to make a difference but so the Nazi's cant whine and whinge and piss and shit and moan its better this way ... if we dont give them fuel they cant try and burn me at the stake again rotflmfao love and big hugs JayCee x x x (“In time we hate that which we often fear.” William Shakespeare quote)

I’m not related….I can

I'm not related....I can nominate this. I normally like my poetry to be less abstract. My life is already full of enough "WTF's"...I actually, think this got through....(imagine that!)

Brillant write, I find

Brillant write, I find nothing here to critque, and I love me some Jayne too. I feel for ya and hope that we move past these sorts of nusiance's soon. Karma is a powerful tool, and when others try to act, karma will react in equal or greater force. For good and.... not so good. Since I am a strong believer in Karma I find a huge security with it. And also offer it a large respect. Powerful shit. he-he. I love this poem, all should know that. Julie D.D.
