Words like silk

Seeming like a mild reproach,
  chosen to be ignored.

Final warning given,
  and you only feel the satin touch.

Ignoring the strength behind,
  words spoken quietly.

Unique!
With my students I get really, really quiet
with my words when I am furious. It seems
like they know I've reached my boiling point
compared to when I merely yell a bit.

I usually get a point across with a glance. Cooking does not leave a lot of time for conversation. Works in private life. Sometimes. Jon.

I wish people would respond to my looks....students anyway. Claire

I can almost hear it. :)
I yell when I'm mad but I am really f'ing mad I take a quiet tone.
Calm before the storm. :)

I tend to grow quieter, bypassing the yelling stage. My eyes are the giveaway. They change colors!

Good to know, just in case...

I would love to hear you read your poetry.

The sound and mannerisms change depending on who I have been around at the time. I can be a bit of a mimic. Who knows? Hopefully, one of these days it will happen!

I love a talented impersonation, hope so if I can do it, anyone can!
