Hi Ginda,
This poem is a profound truth. Keep to anger is a bad recipe in keeping a relationship going.
Congrats of placing second in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a great rest of the day.
Joan

This is true and reminds me of my poem "Venom." Words can poison a soul. It can definitely be bitter. This is a great, short poem. Good luck in the lune contest!

This is great! It's short and to the point, but a powerful and important message in a few words. These are good words to live by, a wonderful entry for the lune contest. Blessings. Carol

These are very true words using the marinate and bitter taste as though thie recipe and it is in a sence. I recipe for causing some very hurtful problems. Perfect for the Lune contest.

Once a word is released, it is hard to erase it from our mind and if it is meant to harm us, it seems to repeat even more in our mind, a poignant post Ginda, love Dolly x

A fine entry and a very true one. One always needs a marinade which tenderises the outcome - gentleness and forgiveness, not one which produces bitterness. You made a strong point in your clever lune, and I wishyou success in the contest.

An excellent entry for the Lune Poetry contest. The syllable count meets the criteria. Perfect recipe for sleeping soundly and waking in a good mood. Good luck in the contest.

This speaks loud and clear. Nicely done. Good recipe to live by, as an example to follow. Very well said and it appears to be 5-3-5. Good luck with the contest.

Great! Now let's all make copy of this...frame it...and put it in a place of prominence in our homes and places of employment! My grandmom used to say when I was angry and ready to spout unkind things, to "count to ten then count again."

Hmmm-- Let's make sure all politicians get this as well!

Harmful and harsh words can stay with us forever.
