The Fiery Tongue Comments

Rating: 5.0

Who can quench the tongue in its fiery flame
That member of the body known only by its name
Not easily subdued nor always able to tame
Stirs up strife and stays ahead of the game

Yes Ma'am. The tounge of a man really makes the level of other's perception about him. There is nothing sweeter than loving words and nothing else would cut through as a switch blade to a rib cage (As eminem puts it) A thought provoking write!

words can be fiery and hurt. A soft touch is much better.

Words can hurt or heal, they should be used wisely. Well said and well written.

Wonderful Paricia, just can say wonderful.Had tongue been made of glass we would have been much careful while throwing any word.Deserve more than 10.

I enjoyed this poem very much! My favorite line was: Will build up high and can also tear down Speak words that can save or either let drown This line shows just how powerful our words are. Funny isnt? How we need our tongue to communticate but then we use it recklessly. Very nice write! :)

The words that come out from our tongue can heal or wound, erect or shatter, save or drown! ! If our words are so powerful, why don't we take a little more care before uttering something? If our words help enhance one's self esteem, why should we be so miserly in giving it, without it being hollow flattery? A great poem with lofty thoughts! Thanks for your elevating comment on my poem!

A classic poem enumerating the tongues way of words in a rhythmic manner with rhyme make music flow! ! An enjoyable read which I feel should find a place in children's text books.! !
