Throw No Stones

we see only skin
that protects the inner soul
like reading one's mind...
malignant opinions
have no place here poetry soup

lol I agree with you Harry, opinions are better left out of here, we are here to support each other, not bring others down. Thank you for the reminder, we all need to curb our judgements every now and then, including me, thank you for being a loyal poetry soup member. One who never gave anything else but support and encouragement here, I noticed :)

Oh, I so agree, harry, and still we poets must speak out to express what we believe and how we feel. We must learn to be more receptive of differing views, I think, not to quick to take offense.
