Words
Words are such Amazing things.
They can bring comfort, sooth, sing.
Can be used to build up, or tear down.
Delivered with smiles, tears, or a frown.
Poets use words to describe life,
Loves, hates, and feelings is what they write.
Lovers use words to woo the flame,
Crying out in passion each other's name.
Friends use words to Sooth and support,
or as a saber in good-natured sport.
Sometimes words are used to hurt,
belittle, decimate, cut them to dirt.
It's then words are dangerous things.
Tramping up hearts, laying low kings.
A person whose words are their life,
Should only use it to defend it's light.
Like a warrior who only fights to defend,
Words, sheathed swords, remain till the end.
Creat not deimate is our aim.
However, you mess with me, you are to blame.

Now you have me curious
Deb,
I pride myself on having a pretty broad vocabulary but you have me bamboozled with one of your word choices in this piece...deimate. I could be wrong but I do believe that is a made up word. Could you possibly be going for decimate?Correct me if I am wrong and I will bow to your superior knowledge.
One other nit I need to pick is that I have reached the point where I abhor using the word "strife" to ryme with "life'. It is so overused that it drives me bonkers.
I criticise because I care,
Pete
I didn't write diemate
What you think about, you bring about.
Pete,
I didn't write diemate, I wrote decimate so you were correct, I don't know where you got the idea I wrote diemate. I know you nit pic cause you care, and I appreciate it.
