insidious poison
on the wind
will start a tempest of despair,
and niggling half truths
defile the flower,
who's only fault
was to be growing there.

very well done
I enjoyed this even before I read about the contet and what is was supposed to be about. I always admire your abliity as you give so much meaning and thought into everthing you write. I do think this is one of my favorites, I am almost tempted to hang it on the wall to see if others would pay heed to it. great piece my friend. I & V
