Never can the flowery words
Of tenderness on paper,
Ever be pitched into shreds
By oblivion's eraser.

My dear friend, you are just great. Words are not sufficient to express how much I feel. YOu have written very beautifully...................You are simply surpassing excellence.
this piece is great, well penned, lines at least runs smoothly, good flow. One of your critics pointed out the use of 'shred' meaning broken pieces of something, fragments whatever. To use 'shards' it didn't make any difference, these words are nouns not verbs.For me it depends to the author how he uses these words. We're not constructing perfect sentences on poetry. It depends on how the reader interpret the meaning of the piece created. For all you know poets are artists. It up to him how he carves his idea on a piece of wood or how he paints his masterpiece on a canvas. So.move on, mate.
A perfect verse certainly unerased in eternity of the poetic world. This is beauty, indeed. Thanks for sharing, Obinna. More than 10. Yelena M.
The first stanza is the shining star of this poem - the words are truly beautiful. S :)
Never has worthy words bent to the ground. u stand tall man. this poem is a pure beauty of the human heart against all things bad. KEEP IT UP MAN!
in response to Barbara Terry's comment about a possible typo in your first line,3rd stanza, i was about to note the same but I think you typed the correct word-sherds, which is a variant of shards...and you did not mean to type shreds (which you already used as a verb in your first stanza) .... maybe to minimize confusion, you may want to use the more common (I think) spelling of the word-shards
true, true! beauty and truth cannot be destroyed or devalued no matter how others try... great write Obinna!
For those words warm are winners. Nice, it has its own magic making me be touched. Thanks.
Amazing! great job I love your poem! ;)
Never can words wreck to sherds By apathy's grave stunners, But by their delight that spreads To spray rings lush with wonders. ...excellent.....
A well-penned poem conveying the deep and lasting effect of kind and love words on the humans' feelings. a good reminder!
Wonderfully written. Great.
