A very good 575 poem entry! People underestimate the power of silence, especially this generation we live in people are too quick to speak back rather than listen and understanding. Good luck in the contest!

    "Silence is golden." Thank you for discussing that carefully. Still, there are times that call for speaking out. There is no universal rule.

    True you just have to understand when to keep silent or speak out.

An excellent entry for the 5-7-5 Writing Prompt. This poem says alot on three lines! Silence is indeed golden sometimes. But there are other times when it can can be toxic and dangerous. I try hard to know what the occasion warrants and to be brave enough to speak up loudly. Well said. Good luck in the contest.

    Do we listen? Does the other party listen? How can we communicate effectively, if possible? Thank you for engaging in this discussion.

    To "know the difference" is not easy, especially if we are all fired up. Sometimes we need to step back from the firing line. Yes, that is better. I have gotten at least two things right. That is two steps in the right direction. I thank you for sharing as well.
