Careful With All Words

Be careful, respectful with all words... they can be just as vital to a poem -- don't let commentaries too far-a-field roam -- stay focused, and on topic -- sometimes good to be myopic. -------------------------------------- Take criticism with grace, don't let praise put your head in outer space -- besides entertaining, thoughtful poetry can be a righteous rod and staff... but don't feel need to immortalize~ your every verbal-fart and literary-gaffe --

I enjoyed reading your fun write. Words are powerful both good ones/bad ones. Like your lines, "Take criticism with grace." Yes!!!! -&- "don't let praise put your head in outer space -" In outer space you cannot write any more. Hahaha!!! Have a fun day writing away............
