Rumors

I am not going to write

too much poetry

right now.

I’ve heard it through

the grapevine

about someone

taking our stuff

and selling it to publishers.

I feel disgusted and ticked.

I mean it is our stuff

that we write.

And suddenly yesterday

someone said that Triond

is selling our stuff to publishers.

And suddenly it isn’t

our stuff anymore.

So right now

I am in limbo

waiting for an answer

to say it isn’t true.

And I cannot and will not

write more poetry

from the soul

until this is cleared up.

I don’t want somone

claiming my stuff as theirs.

Does a writing site

have the right to sell?
