Stick me in the gossip's bridle
Head in sight may stay in idle
But this mind shall never quiver
Nor shall the body ever shiver
You can gore me with your studded spikes
Through thy tongue the metal strikes
Placed upon me with forsaken fame
In this iron muzzle of torment and shame
This iron curb may stop thy tongue
But time to gossip still so young
Placed upon thy neck out of rage
Nothing but an iron cage
Shall not stop this thought
All you do is disperse what’s sought
Feed to you your forsaken lore
For that’s all thy want and nothing more
In a list

This poem has a nice flow to it, and a nice rhyme. Although I'm not a fan of AA BB CC, etc rhyming, it seems to pull it off rather nicely.
Thank you for entering, and good luck in the contest.

You don't see a lot of people pull off rhyming very well, but you did it here.... nice job.

hard to read
this is not very readable on this background although i can say the background is pretty i am not going to strain my eyes trying to read all the words sorry
-
This is such a beautiful piece of writing.....the words and lines flow perfectly...I must say I really enjoyed this! thank you for sharing this with us and keep up the good work.

I loved your message and this work. Expressed very well and I liked your tone and the whole feeling of it.
It's a little hard to read on this background, but the background itself is very pretty -
yeah
I liked the flow, and the feel, though if there was a solid message, i missed it. though it did make me think of getting a tounge piercing. i loved the picture. thanks for sharing. Love and Peace, Charlene -

my message in -My Gossip's Bridle- was based on a 17th century punishment device that was used for woman that gossiped too mush… It was a device that covered the head and stuck a metal piece in the mouth to stop them from speaking.

Love and light,

Gosh there is so much here I can glimpse that evokes beauty, yet I am missing some of the words due to the background. Can you change it please? I would really like to read it in its entirety.
-
Its hard to see the font on this background, but from what i could see i really liked it!!
-
Lovely, great piece. You took the meaningless subject of gossip, and turned it around, then pulled out some good work. I like this. Simple, but sweet.
-
Ah...the pity of gossip, yeah? I had to edit the background off this, was nearly impossible to read with it. Anyhow, I like the background IMAGE with this...including the language. Very fitting.
-
first of all, the backround is cool, got that fountain with thirty leaking tits. beautiful. as for the poem, hmmmm. sounds like teenage angst beaten and hewn into a poetic masterpeice. not that rumours and gossip age just for teenagers haha. but i do so like. 7 out of 10
