Constance La France Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Living By the Sword

It seems to me that my life has been a war,
since a little girl I have held a warning sword;
all sorts of bullies I have had to endure,
and loneliness has been my sweet reward.

My sword is not a dagger but my words,
and I have learned to make them flow;
I can make my words fly like mighty birds,
and as I write tears come and overflow.

Will life always involve a sword of protection;
and will there always be a war and a rejection?

Alexis Y. December 15, 2019 at 5:22 PM WoW! BW, I see why you got the top spot. I too was bullied and bullying is not acceptable. Most bullies got bullied too. When does the cycle end? Some one must stand up against up against and say , the cycle ends here. Take a bow because that is what you are doing in the form poetry. Congratulations on getting top spot, it was well deserved. Happy Holidays to you and your family and friends. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis Constance La France December 15, 2019 at 7:06 PM Alexis, thanks for visiting my poem and for the compassion, I have learned that there are bullies in every stage of life, no getting away from them it seems, but it is how you handle them that matters, thank you for the congratulations.
