Poefusion Friday Poem


Poefusion Friday 5 challenges us with the following words:


exiguous
thoughtless
gifted
imperfect
waterfall



**

As if We Cared

thoughtless celeb
clad in exiguous clothing
is scarcely gifted

confirmed imperfect
even with a waterfall
of burnished hair

carps to newscaster
about clicking cameras
as if we cared

**

Society has been so conditioned to these celebrities having their picture taken that we've come to expect it at a cost to their privacy. And though I don't think its right for them to have their privacy taken away like that I do think sometimes they forget they chose this lifestyle and what it brings. I'm just glad it isn't me balancing out which pictures can and can't be used. Nice job. Have a nice day.

I love this- it's so powerful, especially the last line which speaks volumes to me.

Very cleverly done. I'm so glad I came by again today.

it's so true but then again we do judge too easily but they did choose this lifestyle, didn't they?

it is a painful thought that freedom is so fleeting and costly.. and that fractal is a beautiful shell reflecting the sea...
