Revel In Silence

Don’t think that just because yours was the final word you are right. Many times people quit arguing hoping it will make you stop talking. So you and they can revel in the sweet sound of silence but for different reasons. January 9, 2019

Thank you. It’s probably a proverb somewhere :)

I try to frame my argument with questions when I am in a disagreement. Hoping the person's last words are the ones I've planted. Great poem, P.S. Good luck in the contest!

I shall never approach conversation with naïveté again. You have shaken me with that revelation. :/ Thank you for your visit and encouragement :)

Sweetie, the is excellently done. I know such a person, probably all are exposed to that personality at one time or another. This is so good - please read contest to be sure she doesn't mind the last line falling into the next (I thought I had read that, but I make mistakes more than most). This is too good to not be considered. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

First thank you so much for the feed back and encouragement On my screen the final line fits. I guess it will depend on what screen she’s using??? XXX

An elegantly, incisively formed and expressed poem I’d protest. Well done, P.S.

I plead guilty to walking away from arguments, PS. Your fibonacci is insightful. When we quit arguing our point, perhaps the other side does believe they won because they had the last word. Great entry for the contest!

Sometimes its best to walk away even when you put the proof under their nose they still won't accept they're wrong grrrr. Well written P.S. Tom.

I blush to think how many times I’ve had the “last word.” I wish I’d learned this sooner because it is liberating. Thank you :)
