How to Engage Introverts in Your Next Meeting

Unintended Innuendo

Line of inquiry:
“as we passed her she did wilt
which caused in us sense of guilt
since our stance perhaps did cause
to put her heart’s joy on pause

though we’re gentle, not hostile
we diminished her soul’s smile
since our aura as she viewed
scent of love did not exude”
                - by Unseeking Seeker

Amidst our laughter and great fun She calmed down with a frown As if a ghost was climbing down To turn her back, leave and shun. Did we express things harshly or rude? Which word has implied something broad We only meant just one thing So kindly from our heart that morning. Do we need to clarify, rewind or rephrase? We’ll do with sincere apology and embrace Unintended innuendo comes fortuitously As abrupt blow while playing smoothly. Extra cautiousness cries all the time To make our lines go on perfect rhymes Words must be melodious to all ears and heart Well thought with love and care from the start.

It's so hard to read minds. I am sure I have unintentionally hurt people. But sometimes you never even know. Very well done for the contest, dear.
