and maybe,
everyone's a little fragile,
so please be kind;
that delicate vase can dent
over time.

one unkind word generated
in the dark side of
the mind
and spoken from
the bitter tongue
can be enough
to shatter anyone.

unless you are offering vibrant
flowers to fill the ornament
with happiness,
or are sharing a sentimental message,
please do not send those
dreadful wasps to mimic
delightful friends like bees,
because, the recipient may
not appear to care,
but they are always fazed
and left with a shadowing haze,
that the wasp's devilish
sting has left behind.
