Both busy talking.
Neither can hear.
He said.
She thought...
She said.
He heard...
Ah pfft!
In a huff
They stopped speaking.

Thanks to my several of my blogging buddies

This was written for Sunday 160,
graciously hosted by Monkey Man.
Sometimes communication breaks...

Interplanetary Interference between Mars & Venus! It happens to the best of us!
ReplyDeleteYou've got a real flair for writing about the dilemma of male/female communication. I've lived this vignette...
ReplyDeleteI have a communication problem too. It's in my Sunday 160: Silences Unspoken
ReplyDeletehaha. you know...sounds like a chat session i was having the other night with another blogger...and perhaps a few IRL conversations...
ReplyDeleteFor me, it has everything a poem should have.

ReplyDeleteOuch. First listening with the mouth then communicating with pride. An excellent Sunday 160, Patty. Thank you for being a part of it.
ReplyDeleteOh, that would creep me out.
ReplyDeleteExcellent 160!
Love it...reminds me of what I sometimes say to my children: Listen with your ears, not your mouth!
ReplyDeleteIt seems we are always tuned in to different channels...he said, she heard; she said, he didn't listen... Great 160, Patti.

Great capture of 'simple' listening skills gone array, & cause big messes and lots of hurt feelings.

ReplyDeleteAnother great time reading all your 160s. Thanks for coming by to read mine. I really appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteHe said. She said. I say "clever Patti." Nice 160. Thanks for the chuckles today between this site and the other.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, we hear without listening; we see without comprehending. You've neatly tied a bow of words around this universe of consciousness.
ReplyDeleteThis poem was lots of fun. Nice play on the words.
ReplyDeleteOh pfft! I'm often accused at talking 'at' and not 'to'!
