WORDS

This poem brings home the importance of sweet and polite speech.It also emphasizes that how conducive can a humble nature be towards achieving success.

What does the cuckoo give one?
What does the crow take?
With their words of different kind and types,
They win one's affection sake.

One may be like the cuckoo,
Or may have his speech as of a crow.
Possessing the quality of the former,
He deserves utmost respect as did Homer.
Goes here and there ,goes where he likes,
Peoples' love for him always hikes.

Latter's quality of one does posses,
Peoples' respect for him will be less.
He'll go here and there-wherever he may like,
People everywhere will disgrace and dislike.

Speak words melodious which people like.
Be humble and always polite.
Following this meticulously each day,
Shall bring  great honor to your way.

Wow!
Beautiful poetry.
The rhyme..the content..and most importantly, the thought.
I agree with you there..being polite does win you respect..even if you disagree with somebody, if you put your point forward in a decent manner, it makes you stand out.
Amazing write. :)

I like the message in your poem, very nice.........but every creature has his uniqueness , we should not disgrace crow comparing him with cuckoo. Comparison is a poison which is already killing many economies, hope we will be able to understand every-bodies uniqueness and encourage them for their positives, otherwise someone will definitely cry somewhere in the corner.................................................nice thought provoking poem :-)
