Thank you Ryfkah
I would be honoured if you feel the poem is appropriate for use in your
class.
The reason I chose the adage Silence is Golden is because in some instances
silence can have adverse effects. Red is the colour accociated with blood,
danger and anger, complete opposite to the golden image. Non communication
can cause suffering and anquish and is a form of bullying
I have amended this poem slightly
Silence
Silence is not golden
it pierces like a thorn
unwritten words
slash like a sword
unspoken sentences
nails to a cross
Silence is red.
