Love this as it reminds us of the importance of communicating, talking and listening, to others. And that people know us based on not so much how we speak but what we say. Love the message and the rhythm of the words.

Hi Jay, just thinking about you my friend...
I hope and pray you are doing well...

your poem speaks words of truth...what we
say to others dictates who we are...what our
hearts tell about us...what they show...it
is never wrong to say...I Love You...when meant from
the heart...

I love your poem sweet guy...so very well written...

Words are indeed very important and can convey greetings but can also start wars or change their course and lead back to peace.

Very nice poem here and I wouldn't change a thing.

-Your note and poem are appreciated, jaybird.
-You have many good reasons why words are important.
-They "express our love for life" and
"give us strength and dry our tears."
-There is great power in words as long
as they are used in the right way,
as you indicate in your poem.
-A very good closing couplet.
-Have a good evening and rest of your week.

Aw, such important words: I love you. And we need to say them to our loved ones everyday. Beautifully penned as always, dear poet. Sending you my best today as always.

Though we can show emotions with actions, it's words that will forever get the point across.

I don't write poetry, if you say it's a sonnet, then dag-nab-it, it'll be a sonnet.

Nice flow, easy read, for me that's what I like.

One typo - Untill earthly (until)

Have a great day,
John

Yes, we would become lesser writers if we didn't have our words. They speak for us and even if they are left unspoken they say so much of what we would really like to say. Thank you for speaking up on what words mean to you.

I realize your poem has recognized status, and that's great. Your poem has an important meaning. I gave it four stars because you say it's sonnet style, but your meter isn't iambic pentameter. It's almost iambic tetrameter, but it's very uneven. There are two types: Untill in the last line of your octave instead of until, and "the power words brings" instead of "the power words bring." Oh, and the first two lines are a question, so that probably needs a question mark instead of a period. I think your volta has a really cool concept. I like the shift from spoken words to more of an internalized understanding.
