Christopher Stopford Poet Free verse

-no Words In Haste-

OFT TIMES I DO NOT WANT

   MYSELF, HEAR TO SPEAK

   FOR WORDS UTTERED IN HASTE,

   ARE OFTEN REGRETTED AFTER


   TO WRITE WORDS DOWN

   ON PAPER, IS TO GIVE YOURSELF TIME

   YOUR WORDS AND THOUGHTS,

   PUT TO ORDER, FOR REASON TO SOUND


   FOR WORDS CAN HURT

   WHEN SAID AT THE WRONG TIME

   IN TRYING YOUR WILL TO ASSERT

   THEN IT IS BEST STILL TO STAY, SO THAT PEACE CAN CHIME.
