I got chills while reading this. Gossip can lead to really bad consequences.
You have written this so well, your word choice is really strong!!

Nailed this Michael! Gossip can be quite vicious. Well done Sir!

Gossip is something else and it is in a humans nature but there are some they live off gossip. Very damaging. Thank you for sharing. Hugs

Ooh you have mastered the art of descriptive metaphors to a 'T' Michael and this is just excellent! :-) x

Your way with words Michael.... Just a series of poetic pleasures in every piece.

Really loving the visuals in this one and it's tempo.

Great piece dude

This was such a blunt, vivid piece that really painted the picture of how consuming and greedy gossip is. I've seen this happen at places that you would think could be safe and non-judgemental spaces. It's truly vile, and you've captured this well. This happened at my church frequently, and people would just say they're "venting", but I would say that I want no part, or try to defend the person. I think a person can become so used to gossip or just reliving history or certain parts of the person that they never want to think of them as anything else. And for some people, if they didn't gossip, what would they have to talk about? Do they have anything meaningful and worthwhile to say?

Well done, Michael!

I am happy with this week results! Congratulations!!
