Words

by Daniel J   Jan 21, 2005


People just say things,
without meaning them,
words are their playthings,
they have no import.

A word is a diamond,
a beautiful thing,
but polish it much,
and end with a pebble.

Words are strong,
just like a diamond,
but use it wrong,
and it will cause hurt.

Words are like swords,
- just wait and see:
take the \"S\" from the end,
and replace at the front.

The thing to remember,
is to use them for good,
to ensure that they mean something,
and are not just for show.
--------
Hmm. The rhyming is sketchy. But it\'s the message which is important.

Don\'t hesitate to comment, or vote.

    I find it extremely hard to believe that you haven't been writing poetry for that long. You have more talent a lot of the people I have seen on this site. Apparently, you're just a natural.
    This poem did have an important message, and you portrayed it very nicely. Excellent job.
    Take care,
    Jaime
