Good words, and a good picture to tell of that person who just seems to have a way with setting people off. Words that rip, and tear at the heart, and soul of another person.

There's a lost less thinking and a lot more speaking around these days. The cycle tongue goes all the way to the top with people who see themselves as leaders. Your poem gives good advice and is what well brought-up people were raised to know.

Excellent advice and well penned senryu.

Human foibles are often the topic of senryu - and you have
taken on one most universal - - -
thoughtless callousness not easily taken back or ameliorated.

Best of luck in the voting booth :-)

Ha, love this senryu my dear whoever you are. A little diarrhea of the mouth.

One should always think before they speak and that goes double for think twice before they write, and then some people are just downright nasty.

Super job with this. Best wishes to you in the contest.

Your senryu is a lesson for us all, mystery poet.

Your first two lines are a great introduction to your very clever 'satori.'

The artwork you've chosen to complement your work is perfect!

Best of luck in the contest! I think it's a strong entry. Take care. Alana

Kool picture and great poem but a Senryu has no pictures and has title restrictions per the Japanese who created it. A great regular poem but not a Senryu.

Good advice, and some of the best.
The words we speak are not like words we typed on the keyboard of our computers. There is no magical "DELETE" button to remove those words once they've left our mouth. By then, the damage has been done and it is too late. Even sometimes saying I'm sorry is not enough.

Best to err on the side of caution and keep you're pie hole zipped shut.

Good luck in the contest.

Good poem for contest. Very true. Maybe if we can remember we have value and it doesn't change because of what anybody says, we can learn to ignore those words more often. Good luck!

Although your message is not novel, it iss succinctly stated and needs to be heard again and again.
Good word choices "callous," "spontaneous," "abrasive" emphasize the serious tone needed to get people to listen.
