I love the topic you chose for this poem. It's an important message that too many people never get. One casual insult can cause more damage than most people comprehend.
Very well written!
Best of luck to you in the contest.

Thanks for the insightful review Lynette. I agree and this new 'tech' generation will have an even harder time with bullies and casual insults because they are not building up their emotional shields, as we did as kids. I believe that is why bullying has taken such a hold. Cheers, j

The Trinet - a new format for me, at least,- interesting use of it here to remind the reader of the lasting impact of words - flows rhythmically and a nice pic

Thanks for the review. I do try to be mindful in what I say, it could be the last words they hear from you and I like to leave with a warm and loving thought. The dandelion represents the fragility of it all. Cheers, j
