I wish that resentment did erase those "somber lessons", but mostly those lessons just affect our future relationships, I fear. Luckily for us, you have also shown the other side of humanity-kindness. Good luck in the contest. Blessings, MB

Comment from Therese Caron
This is a lovely 30 Syllable poem.It reminds me of growing up. We had seven children in our family and no one was ever hit. My father always said if you hit a child, you are teaching him how to hit.I raised my kids the same way. I love your words " soft hands model kindness." The image you chose is lovely. Good luck in the contest! I really love this poem.

Oh wow, you have truly said a lot in 30 syllables. I really liked the kindness in this poem, it was humble and reminded that we all must start somewhere!

I'd much rather see my dogs wagging their tails and flattening their ears than cowering away... Just occasionally they need a firm word though, for their safety and for that of others. Children are a similar matter!

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Nice image and
presentation.
-The syllable count is good.
-I like the style of your poem
with two verses showing
the opposite of each other.
-Using hard and soft hands
as a symbol of how we act
or respond is done very well.
-A very good entry; good luck!

Comment from Dawn Munro
Oh, what a clever poem this is -- a life lesson in so few syllables. I think there are several layers of meaning, especially in that first stanza, but in both. Best of luck!

Comment from Susan Larson
What a well written poem about the strength and long term impact of kindness and gentle guidance of sold hands as opposed to hard hands. That's a lovely picture accompanying your poem.

Comment from rspoet
This is an excellent poem and entry for the thirty syllables contest
with an interesting message. Positive encouragement is always
better than negative to build the image of the young.
Nicely worded
Good luck in the contest

Comment from judiverse
This is lovely and beautifully presented. Your 30 syllables are the perfect count for the contest, and best of luck. This is such an excellent thought, too. When discipline is harsh, children are likely to become resentful. The soft hands reflect kindness that will earn respect. Nice sound with respect and forget. Great wording. judi
