Michelle Faulkner Poet Free verse

Reciprocal

Returning compliments
Received, a kind word to
Redeem a thoughtless tongue
Reach out to the shy ones
Remember when you were
Raw and blue, the one who
Relieved your wounded wings~

Sigrid Ermine April 17, 2021 at 3:27 PM Hi Michelle. Oh wow, this is absolutely spot on! Perfectly describes the hand we can extend, relatively painlessly, to lift someone significantly. Reciprocation is what our best relationships are built on. Much praise for your expression here, smoothly said.
