Must you be so strident?

Poetry, Word of the Day 1 Minute

Must you be so strident

So forceful with your views?

Any chance you’ll hesitate?

Why so short a fuse?!!

 

Someone pressed your button

I find you have a few!

You’re not short of opinions

React so to the news.

 

Can’t you reign it in a bit

Think before you speak?

Sounding off the way you do

Will only bring you grief.

 

It doesn’t get your point across

Passion’s not enough

They’re not hearing what you say

Your tone has put them off.

I am a regular contributor to Wattpad where I write as andrewagreen. My first two collections on Wattpad were featured. My first published book Margaret’s Story - a biography of my mother in verse is available on Amazon. I live near Windsor, Berkshire and have offered my services, so far unsuccessfully, as the next Poet Laureate.
