Gossip


Crossed an anthill

Overheard accidentally

Ants talking about me!

Sharpened my ears,

Shalini is selfish;

She killed our siblings.

Can’t argue back,

They ate my sweet;

They bit my skin.

Family feud started.

Next time I saw ants,

Forgot my insecticide

instead shifted  place.

I liked the way you built this analogy of an anthill and sweetness.

Ingenious.

I have a prose piece on Gossip.

Joy always,
