Meenakshi Raina Poet Rhyme

Sharp Words Leave Invisible Scars

Sharp words leave invisible scars, and pain,
They pierce like sword and harm the soul.
Such painful words keep echoing the ears,
With no scope left for the heart to console.

        Like arrows sharp words hurt deep inside,
        Though their wounds are not visible to eyes.
        Time may heal them but scars stay forever,
        Watch your words before it is late to realize.

Love and bonding gets created over years,
But sharp words split relationship so quick.
Like a mirror broken into thousand pieces,
So don't throw your sharp words as a brick.

Michael Ponnambalam January 28, 2021 at 12:36 AM Dear Meenakshi, Enjoyed your poem, "Sharp Words Leave Deep Scars." The following lines are superb! "Like arrows sharp words hurt deep inside, Though their wounds are not visible to eyes." Excellent. Keep it up.

Ram R. V. August 17, 2017 at 5:37 PM Well done, Meenakshi! A good read. Clarity seems to be one of your virtues. I do appreciate it. By the way, between you and me, '...a thousand pieces...' would be more idiomatic: a thousand, a hundred, etc.

Jesse Day August 3, 2016 at 8:43 AM I found your work well written and on point with a message. The idiom is creative and fit the theme of the poem very well. The contest was highly competitive which left out about 10 poems which were worthy of placement – including this one.
