The exercise:

The topic for this week's four line poem shall be: wrongfully accused.

Mine:

My innocence has been proven
But the accusation is all
That is remembered, so I fall
And the healing cannot begin.

  1. Ah. To be forgiven and to give forgiveness ... only then can the healing begin.

    For the theft of four oatmeal cookies
    Charlie sits alone with his thoughts
    Sentenced by Mom to sit in the corner
    While the dog grins and licks his chops

  2. Ah, your poem has hit the nail on the head there -- just the accusation can be damning enough without there being any truth to it.

    @Monica -- I rather like your oatmeal cookies poem too, poor Charlie!

    Wrongfully accused

    After all the things I've done
    That I've hidden oh-so-well
    You're accusing me of this?
    -- you can go to hell!

  3. Monica - haha, that's brilliant. Wonderful rhymes and images :)

    Greg - ah, the injustice of the guilty being accused of something they're actually innocent of :)
