I love the sentiment here and if only this poem had a consistent metre it would be magical. Good end rhymes, words can indeed uplift and sooth anyone who is suffering grief, love Dolly x

This work has reached the exceptional level

Words can lead a reader across a rough patch -that is true and they can do the same for the writer.
One's choice of words can open many gates - certainly, and oft times we don't realise it until the words are out. Love this Terza Rima, JLR.
Well done, cheers
Valda

Well done with the terza rima, yes indeed, a writer's can be anything from a great blessing to being an absolute curse, but we carry on, because we must. An excellent post, look who's becoming a most consistent virtuoso, well done Jim, blessings Roy

As writers, this has an intriguing theme. You do a great job with your rhyming scheme here, which speaks to the importance of the chosen words.Great job on this closed form.

This is a very well written Terza Rima poem you have penned for the Potlatch Poetry event. You used very good cautious words and very nice imagery. I am going to book case so I can go back to it and maybe I can write this type of poem. Thank you so much for sharing! Blessings, Teri

Thank you for sharing this club entry with us. I enjoyed reading. What phrase I poet might write could be something totally different than what a reader might read. It all depends on their reference or maybe their background.

This terza rima, A Writer's Caution, has the proper formatting and reminds the writers and readers that words are all and they need to be big when necessary, small when appropriate, but always readable and understood.

You have done an excellent job on this Terza Rima, Jim. They are a difficult form and you make it look so easy. I enjoyed reading it and think it answers the prompt beautifully. :)
