The more attention we pay to what we want to say the better our choice of words. There is an art to choosing uplifting rather than downgrading conversation. Encouragement is welcomed by everyone. Once you take that path you will find many walking beside you.
Your poem is a collection of positive ways to begin, if not already started. Well done.

"Die in Shame or Live with Grace", is an extremely well-written and thought-provoking piece. To me echoes of "Do unto others", echo through this talented poet's lines. To me, this is a six, but unfortunately I only have fives left. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Words certainly can cause problems! Your poem says what words can cause.
the rhyme and rhythm is good. I don't see anything that looks like it could need any changes. Good job!

A very well-written poem about how to live with grace instead of dying in shame. The choice is ours to make, we can either learn to love each other and live gracefully or choose to hate and die in shame.

Yes it does seem that today more words are said to divide than to unite.
If it were the opposite than we would have a world of peace and acceptance we all dream of. Words do have power and we need to
use them carefully and encouragingly.
I like the format of couplets and quatrains. It seems to emphasize the point being made.
Good luck and keep writing

Joan

I like the line "words of encouragement have now become rare" - I truly hope each one of us can and will change this. Especially for our young people. I confess I feel as if I didn't encourage our four boys as much as I should have.
Good poem - last line the word "we're" - misplaced mark.

Your excellent, moving poem makes great use of specific details to convey its theme on the almost inestimable power of words. The list of things that can not be accomplished through words is short compared to that OTHER
list!
