Syphilis is a debilitating disease if not treated properly and timely. The product of unsafe sex it is spread easily. If I take a symbolic approach, syphilis can represent a sick mind that relishes in the vilest acts of life. Both can ruin the minds of careless men. Curtis

This rythmes great! It's very thought provoking, I thought. I like the last line, really funny--in a way. The picture and the poem work great together. I really felt like I was involved with the poem.

Hello Bipen,
I see you choose a eye opening metaphor ( how some people have a disease describing their insulting thoughts about some writers here on Fanstory .

I know I may be way off.
I know one thing I don't let it worry me of what they say.

Gert

Very creative and unusual. Even though I didn't fully understand it. It draws me back to another read. I can't say it's wrong. Syphilis like writing just grows in you and you just can't stop it. Sometimes it's destructive like syphilis, but well that's the best I can. In it's creative approach I give a fiver. Les

Rather do not comment if you have nothing constructive to say? I am not sure if I got the message right, but I just wanted to let you know that I really liked it and I wanted to give it those 5 stars as a support for nice things with a message :) Tina

Please don't pay so handsomely for poetic acclaim. Reviewers pay scant attention to your lines and just take the money. What you need is tutoring and advice on poetics. P@P

An infected mind has no control. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read. There is good imagery.

YOur piece is well written, even though I wouldn't choose to write a poem about this subject. Apparently it is a subject that is on your mind.

Hi Bic,

I think we have all had some unfair and uncalled for reviews. If their criticism is instructive I can live with that but there are those who review an have no idea what they are talking about. A clever and compelling poem and you hit the nail on the head with this one. Well done, chey
