Words really matter. Blavatsky said 'the universe is never again the same for every word spoken!'. Reading and writing poems and poetry helps me concentrate on words, thoughts, feelings. My first son, Andrew, has Down's Syndrome and he allows me to see the world differently and that's a great source of inspiration - as are my sons Angus, Adam and wife Amelie...........words, poems, feelings ...........Love - of course!!!

Battle
Not sure, although it’s up to me, whether to hate my enemy
but love’s a word harder to rhyme than hate and so it takes more time.
'O What may man within him hide, Though angel on the outward side?' William Shakespeare
Stirs things up after a week of meetings with multiple meanings.
FYI, just started listening to Michael Drout's Modern Scholar lectures on "poetry". My local library in Urbandale, Iowa orders a lot of what I asked to be included in their collection.
Thanks for this thoughtful poem.
