I try to live by the motto that I don't deliberately say or do things to hurt other people. Your poem rings true for me. Good work.

words hurt more than deeds
don't damage one with either
keep peace everywhere

Good advice Ine and if everyone were to keep it we would be a much happier place to live. World peace ... sigh.

First of all, your poem is very true. Words to hurt more than deeds. Your 5 7 5 structure is written very well.
I would have to call it a senryu I was in the call it any style poetry. Keeping peace everywhere to tall order to have. Small microcosms it is very possible. Thank you for sharing such a good piece. You have a good one.

Great 5-7-5 poem Ine. Yes words can hurt, I can relate too.
If you are hit and there are no hard words you easier forget... Not talking is also a way that's pretty painful...
So let's keep peace.... Well done, great job. Fia

Hi Ine,

This is another great 5 - 7 - 5 poem. You're really good at writing them.

I always look up words to see how many syllables there are in it and sometimes to get the meaning.

Blessings, Kat

A fine message, especially given what we are reading in the news these days. Words do hurt, and often leave a lingering effect. Syllable count is perfect. Well done, Ine.

This is a very good message my friend. Yes everywhere is three syllables, I suppose you could make it four but it is clumsy. Well done Ine. Nancy
