Opinions

Opinions matter Most often when you are right Want credit for them- But they can stab like a knife If offered without consent Preserve opinions Wrap them softly in your mind Save for that prized time- When they're requested as gifts To be cherished and followed April 13, 2015

I love how you presented your poem. I already loved the original, but with the addendum it's even better. Good Luck in the contest :)

You chose a great way to re-show your poem by doing another tanka. Great job, Sandra! You did it perfectly. And that poem that got N/A had a great message.

This is very profound and so true, Sandra. I know of several self-opinionated folk that everyone avoids. Opinions are like the time. keep it to yourself until someone asks you for it. Great little write. Viv x
