This is a well-written sonnet on treating others well and doing good instead of bad. Your meter and rhyming pattern are well delivered.
Great job! Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful day.

As always your heartfelt and uplifting words resonate and I must tell you how pleasant it is to read your well-composed words. Your talent is inspirational, to me and I am sure to others.

Your poem with excellent rhythm and rhyme is a joy to read.
'Til we know the power of spoken word,
to harm, to charm, to lift, let goodness show;
These words remind the reader the power of the spoken word.
Thank you for sharing.

I love your words, dear poet. This poem comes very much at a time when I needed a word of calmness in the tempest. What you say in here touches my heart. Congratulations in your long life ...1925, I was born in 1936...I guess poetry is a reason for a long life.

Hello Jake,
You've written an excellent poem in the sonnet form
with very good rhymes and an excellent reflective couplet.
A very good message of the power of words to lift if used
for that purpose.
Well done
Robert

Great poem, echoes so many of the words and teachings in God's Holy scriptures Proverbs 18:21 comes to mind "death and life are in the power of the tongue". Well written and well done. Be blessed

Such a beautiful definition for a life and faith well lived, Jaybird -- our words affect others so much more profoundly that many realize... :) :) Thanx for sharing, sir! ;)
