Roger Roger Poet Quatrain

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

Linda Alice Fowler October 1, 2022 at 8:57 AM Perhaps. Also may be rather lonely or isolating. Nice one Roger. Linda Roger Roger October 1, 2022 at 10:11 AM Thank you very much... Yes... Silence is both an expression, a reaction and a feeling...

Constance La France October 1, 2022 at 5:39 AM 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 Roger Roger October 1, 2022 at 5:56 AM 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...
