War of Words

War of Words

A Poem by Sue
"

The turn of phrase "Words can never hurt you" may be true in a physical aspect, but sometimes, words cut...deep. Maybe it's the soul, or the mind that takes the sting of verbal assault.

"

I’ve been fighting you

For oh too long

Even if you beat me

I re-enter fight

Come back strong

Only for another defeat

To the other soldiers

I am strong

But nothing for your whole army

But War of Words

I’ll push on

Cause words can never hurt me…

When I first read this, I thought "This sounds really interesting...but, something's off about the timing." And then I thought for a second and it clicked - that's what makes it interesting. I would suggest adjusting the timing and making it more rhythmic, but that would make it lose some of it's integrity. I like the bulky timing because it brings into my mind how war really is, how an argument can be. There's no perfection, just calculated moves that hit or miss. I enjoyed the read, Sue. Kudos!

I think this poem was great. Words can hurt and sometimes we do need to get up and fight. We shouldn't have to take them laying down. Great job!
