The Best Defense

Sometimes, silence is the best defense Like an armor against a pouncing sword It is always wise to build your heart a fence That can't be pierced by sharpest word October 1, 2022, 5:40 PM Bite size Poem no 54 Poetry Contest (honorable mention) Sponsored by: Line Gauthier

Perhaps. Also may be rather lonely or isolating. Nice one Roger. Linda

Thank you very much... Yes... Silence is both an expression, a reaction and a feeling...

Roger, wonderful and wise poem. My father always told me that the stronger person walks away from insulting or nasty words that stab, but I have found it takes courage to do that, well done, Constance

Thank you very much... I've always been a victim of organized oppression. They have been doing it to me for more than 10 years now. I'm glad I am now learning to handle it the wise way...
