Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
This is a poem depicting the influence today's events could have on the naive young people observing. The destruction that it seems hundreds are getting away with, does bode for bad influence in the future.
The poem is very rythmic and the composition of excellently chosen words. I like the poem very much.

Knowing when, how gradually/how fast, and how bluntly to tell young ones the truth is little like walking a tightrope. Your poem is vividly descriptive and skillfully written. It conveys a powerful message.

Comment from dragonpoet
You used these words well to describe how lies can burn away hope and can cause a warm heart to maybe turn cold and bitter.
Good luck in the prompt
Keep writing and stay healthy.

What Have You Wrought?
Hello anonymous
Interesting entry for the Use These Words writing prompt contest. You included fire - cold - ice - breath in your poem, thank you for the darker font...it makes it easier to read. I think this poem is about the BLM peaceful demonstrations.

Comment from Susan Louise Gabriel
I love the artwork you selected! It's the first thing a reader sees and sets up the reader to expect something that is going to be messy - splattered. And your poem is not messy at all, but the subject is very messy, and is therefore very appropriate!
You've done such an excellent job of hiding the required words that I didn't realize it was that type of poem until I read the notes. I really appreciate your message and agree with it. And your poem was excellent -
This is a really, really good question:
"'Tis said an angry heart grows cold,
But what of one lost in confusion?"
Thank you for writing something so clarifying about a confusing subject!

I don't know what this will do to the next generation. Certainly they are not learning anything good from all of this. I need to believe things will get better. We can not go on like this. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Loren .
Okay, so this poem is revealing two things (at least) about you. One, you are a seeker of the truth and know the profound significance of living it. A quality I highly admire in people. And, two, your scientific mind ... yes, I saw how you sneaked in that piece about ice being able to burn. This is a very deep piece of writing, Yvette. I enjoyed the journey. Loren
