    Poem Commentary

    A crime for which there is no retribution.

    Slanderer

    Perfidious viper
    Twisted of form
    Distorting life
    With evil incantations.

    Will no death
    Of Character
    Satisfy
    Your perverse desires.

    Shedding skin
    Leaving
    The ulcered tongue
    Of the unholy gossip.

    An excellent capsulated and intriguing write. I especially enjoyed the last stanza. Shedding skin Leaving The ulcered tongue Of the unholy gossip. 10 from me.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
