Vague

F J McCarthy on Nov 3, 2009

A poem.

We are here and we are speaking,but your meaning is unclear.

You allude to situations with out ever going there.

We dance around the subject, trying hard not to commit.

Suggesting innuendo’s in the statements we omit.

Why can’t we just this once, speak openly and true.

Perhaps that is a talent we have never learned to do.

The hunter and the hunted switching roles from time to time.

Never letting out our secrets,just a foggy misty rhyme.

Ever do you torture me, with this circuitous verbal plague.

Answer me this question, Why must you be so Vague.

Balanced poem, such as putting in place the accused, if you have never been there.

you are one of the few men I know who have a way with their wording.

I sometimes wonder people think it’s so bad to get to the point and be truthful. Other times, I understand exactly why. I love the way you wrote this it’s very relateable and I loved the tension.

Hi there!
