Sweet Nothings
Poet Rummager
I sell collectibles and art online and often find the things I've found have hilarious and at times, dark stories to tell. It's thrilling for me to be creatively random, so always expect the unexpected in the things I share with you.

Having had recent major tooth decay issues, this poem makes me ache! 😀 It is a beautiful drawing out of the “sweet nothings” saying. I hope this is not a poem from a personal romantic debacle. Welcome back!

Thanks Rose. The change was suggested by Ted Stutz a fellow blogger. I give him sneak peeks of the photos I’m doing now as he is such a friend. I think he chose well, if I do say so myself. ☺️

Don’t know how I missed this one, Rose. Deepest apologies. The poem is clever as only a Rose-poem could be, but that collage takes the cake. (Intended) Is that some sort of legislative assembly I see pictured? Politicians are known for sweet nothings, too. In any case, you’re a brilliant talent, my friend.

I’m happy you found my poem, Oggy! Yes, it’s crazy how politicians work the system. They tell the world how great and free America is; yet when refugees seek asylum, they find those words were all sweet nothings. The icing drips and become a prison. People using people to advance political gains. Thank you for reading in between the lines. xo
