Gossip

FREE WRITING

It’s erupts like
hot lava from an
active volcano.
Spreading like a
wildfire across the forest.
Carrying tales,
Lies
myths
As it is told from one
person to another.
It hides behind our back
Like a shadow.
Following us
wherever we go.
Words flowing out
as easily as waterfalls.
Whispers flying in the wind
baring stories , changed
as easily as the tides.

This piece is about how gossip spreads and how it’s kinda like broken telephone. You start by saying something and when it gets to the other side of the room it’s completely the opposite. It’s kind of how gossip and rumors are.
anyways love to know what you thought of this piece!! :)

Peer Review

What about this piece delighted, surprised, or moved you?

I love this piece and how it opens our eyes to see how much our words can hurt. It was also very well written and the description is just stunning.

What else would you like to know? Where might the writer deepen an idea or question? Would additional details invite you further into the writing?

If you would add anything maybe add something about how we should instead use our words to build up each other up instead of tear down by gossiping!!
