*Part of the free verse “Dear Series” collaboration with my poetry Queen, my dear soul-sister, my cheerleader and encourager, my lovely friend, Nandita of Manan Unleashed.
Dear Judgement*
Once accepted,
I can’t be erased.
Once received,
I can’t be fazed.
Once you enter
you are usually seen.
Empathy is my mentor
I will not let you in.
I break hearts,
and infect minds,
turn lies to art,
make truths blind.
Hearts gets bleeding
You are so unkind.
A parasite feeding
on the feeble mind.
With self-righteous man,
I will surely flourish.
Cause there is no one
better than all he is.
You’re so hell bent
I hope you do your penance.
Dear Judgement,
I bid you good riddance.

Ahhh I love this!! This poem in particular had such a great flow to it and it sounded like a conversation since every stanza switched perspectives from “I” to “you” and that worked really well here.

I’m glad you saw that Jade. That’s how Rose and I always do it, she becomes the personification of the particular emotion and I the dispeller of it (well I try 🙂

Another great installment to the “dear” series. This one is as gripping and visceral as the others, perhaps more so because judgement can cut both ways. excellent job ladies 🙂

Even with the title, this reads like an ancient riddle. But judgment is a riddle, due to our lack of understanding and our skill with it. It is fact and mystery, and you two command exploring each part. Congratulations–and thank you!

Wonderful collaboration with Nadita. I very much enjoyed this like you were having a conversation with judgement and standing up to him. Telling him where he’ll end up in the end because empathy and acceptance wins. Well written you both!
