Comment from Perp Ihebom
This is a nice poem that subtly addresses many important issues of everyday life. The poet seems particularly passionate about the correct use of the tongue. It is an interesting read. kudos

Comment from mslyla216
This is a scathing tale, written so humorously that one can't help but be intrigued. Your use of descriptives to form your made-up names was genius. How you kept it all straight with this one saying that about the other one is a mystery to me. You are just a masterful organizer. But the writer got hers in the end and learned a mighty big lesson in the process. Wonderful job. mslyla

Comment from Signaler
Hello jlsavell, Well it took me a long time to get through who was telling who, what was what. So true every word. Of course Robert Frost believed that good fences made good neighbors, but for the very reason of keeping others away.
This is a very good poem and I enjoyed reading it.

Comment from Donald O. Cassidy
By human nature, if we're asked not to repeat a thing, we're duty bound to do it. I suppose there are the professions and ministries that keep their mouths shut because their professions depend on it. There are a few stragglers who with might and main keep their vows to seal their lips from gossip.
Of course the tabloids exist on spilling dirt.
After all is said and done, isn't it a shame that some people can't live without gossip?
Your poem tells this truth in a creative way.

Comment from MissCellanea
Your story points out many truths, including the fact that we are defined by our actions. The characters' names scream that, loud and clear. All the way through, I found myself nodding in agreement. One thought kept running through my head. If we listen to Ms tell-a-real-spin's gossip abou our neighbors so willingly, what makes us think we aren't the object of her gossip at the next house? Well done and a joy to read. Good food for thought, for we all fall short on this one from time to time. Sue

Comment from Russel Chale
That is truly hilarious. Seems one must be extremely careful at all times about what we say and where. But, I guess we all know that, despite quickly forgetting at the most inopportune time. LOL. A good laugh. "Self Improvement"?--yes, I guess so.

Comment from findingmyroom
Love the nicknames for all the characters in your tale. Of course the message hits home best when it applies to oneself, and you dropped the subtlest of hints to foreshadow that. Nice job.

Comment from skye
Excellent poem with whimsy and truth.
I love the names, they are creative and very clever, telling a good portion of the story just within their names.
Very very well done.
