very powerful and moving meta poem expressed in the terra riming format. You nailed the format of the poem. the rhyme scheme is spot on as is the message.

Jake, thanks much!
Comment from Pam (respa)
-Good choice of artwork.
-A well written poem with effective imagery and rhyme.
-It flows well from verse to verse as one's pen flows down the page.
-My favorite line is the question about living "under masked veils."
-You make a good point about choosing the right words,
followed by a good closing couplet.
-Well done.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Your terza rima was in great form, JLR. The lines read well
with great imagery of a writer thinking before s/he commits
to writing his/her thoughts on paper. The rhymes worked well
and added to the overall imagery. I enjoyed reading your well-
thought out poem. The rhyme scheme was adhered to correctly.
All kinds of words play into an author's mind, and s/he must
choose carefully to make readers understand his/her intentions.
The art choice was perfect for your work.
Thanks for participating, Jan

Comment from Jasmine Girl
I understand this type of poem is a challenge itself. I have been working one one and hope I can finish it soon so I can post. I thought you had to use Iambic meter. I did see a few meter related mistakes.
The following will work better without "a":
uncover a hidden tale
Well done and good luck.

Comment from Wendy G
The power of words can never be underestimated, both for good and for hurt. As you say readers can be uplifted, or list in the thatch of too many useless words. How often do we live lives masked by veils. Good question. Most of the time, probably.
Very thoughtful, and thought-provoking.

Comment from dellsworthpoet
I always like to see mixed forms. This being a 14 line poem makes it a sonnet. The rhymed couplet at the end is classic end for sonnet form also. The terza rima form slows the flow which is good for a complex thought since the reader is slowed to see it.
Thanks for a good read.

I totally agree with the author. The use of words must be used with some thought given to its possible effect. A word misunderstood can do as much or more damage than a word intended to hurt or confuse.

Comment from GWHARGIS
Very good advice. I tend to cut a scene rather than ramble. At least, I hope I don't ramble. Lol. Using certain words can either accelerate or decelerate a scene. I like the presentation of your poem. Great job and quite enlightening. Gretchen

A great use of the terza rima to give good writing advice. You're right that we don't want to lead our poor readers "across a rough patch," so we have to choose our words carefully.

Comment from dragonpoet
This is a well done terza rima for the potlatch club post. It reminds us the importance of picking just the right words so our theme is understood and that it does not have a chance to hurt anyone. You have a good ending couplet.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
