Line Gauthier Poet Quatrain

Think Twice

Take a breath just pretend to light a cigarette
Mind your every thought so that you'll not regret
Avoid a tactless comment that might go south
Remember ~ a fly does not enter a closed mouth

Lindsay Laurie August 13, 2019 at 10:59 PM Hello Line … you've written this well to finish with the proverb. There is not enough think before you act actions - thank you Line - Lindsay Line Gauthier August 14, 2019 at 12:16 AM Thanks, Lindsay. Much appreciated.

Gershon Wolf August 11, 2019 at 12:37 PM Really like how you set this up for the Romani proverb final line. I find this a challenging contest, and I'd say that you've (more than) met the challenge! Good luck, Line! :) gw Line Gauthier August 11, 2019 at 2:58 PM Thank you so much, Gershon. Most appreciated.

Jeanne Mcgee August 11, 2019 at 8:44 AM superb Line. A sure winner. Line Gauthier August 11, 2019 at 2:58 PM Thanks for the optimistic compliment, Jeanne.
