Kp Nunez Poet Rhyme

Diplomacy the I'Lyzette

The painted Words:

When a bamboo bends over backwards, keeping her peace,

it does not mean that her sense of balance’s decreased.

The wound that was inflicted though unintentional

would have healed had a passerby thought more considerately

than to snap it to rigid position after the storm has ceased.


What I wrote:


When one tries to understand just to keep the peace,

it does not mean that her sense or spirit’s decreased.

The hurt that was inflicted though unintentional

would have gone had another thought more considerately

than make a speech about it right after the trouble has ceased.

John Williams August 1, 2015 at 3:52 AM Well written Kim. How often people bend over backwards just to keep the peace. However it doesn't mean their spirit is dimmed, they are accommodating the person in their life, but the bamboo can only bend so many times before breaking. Great thoughts Kim---John
