As I Have Always Said
An ABC poem about an important rule of engagement16 total reviews
Comment from Melissa Russell Deur
Wow! That's so true, Mary. Love the artwork you chose--very "He says, she says." The last line is powerful--much like "I know what you're thinking."
This should be a poster in every home and counselor's office! Funny play on "Always" in the title. Love it!

Lisa. I enjoyed this format far more than I expected to. I?m glad you enjoyed the result.

I really appreciate these challenges. I'd never heard of a "lune" or "minute" poem before. It does stretch us!
Comment from Janice Canerdy
To this skillfully-written, vividly descriptive, powerful poem--I say "AMEN!"
I have had conversations with my grandkids about using "always" and "never" in their take on things--especially of others. They need to see that these two words turn truths to lies.

A poignant write as those repeated words grate on your heart and soul. Arguments are more prevalent now that we spend so much time at home together, your words here are powerful and well rhymed too, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Your poem contains wise counsel. "You always..." is very confrontational, blaming and shaming as you point out. Your use of rhyming carries the poem along well.

Comment from lyenochka
I totally agree! Words like "always" and "never" should be excluded in arguments where people want to resolve their issues and build their relationship up. Best wishes in the contest!

Hello, anonymous,
Great entry for the ABC writing prompt contest. You used a, b, c, d, and e into the poem well. I love the theme of the rules of engagement. Nice presentation. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written ABC poem about arguments that mostly ends with either or both ending in tears of regret and pain about words that was said or accusations made.
