Backbitten Backstab (Haiku)

by Clara Mae Gregory


Backstabbers backbite.
Nefarious lies stab back.
Each REAPS his own sin.

was anything e'er writ that rings as true as this? backs serve so many purposes, one of which is to slap perhaps in a congratulatory manner and the other to stab in a way which is painful no matter the rhyme or the reason it is done. I think backs just want to have fun and could without either slap or stab.

Very much said in a concise, precise and poetic well written way. smh

Truth in five seven five, and spoken so accurately that I have goose bumps.

Reaps and sows pain for perpetrator and victim. Thanks for this cutting honest piece, Mel.
