Venomous (Words) .... [ Venting With Words At Home ] Poem by Bri Edwards
Venomous (Words) .... [ Venting With Words At Home ]
VENOMOUS: 'Capable of injecting a 'venom' ** causing
an injury, literally or figuratively, perhaps even death.'
The venom of some spiders & snakes are best-avoided.
And venomous words-spoken, at times may 'take away...
one's breath'.
For example, when one's temper can not be held in check,
as when my wife aggravates me immensely ***, as she can do,
my words of rage thrown at her ERUPT! ! I'm LOUD! ! !
They may be 'CRAZY', 'STUPID', 'A++HOLE', 'FOOL', ...
and/or 'SHREW' ****!
She, too, gets aggravated by me. I KNOW that's hard for YOU...
to believe.
She's said I have 'low self-esteem', but (also) implies that....
my 'ego' gets in our way!
She says I'm '5 (or 3) years old', and 'autistic', mean, & NOT kind.
But 15 years we're married, and civil (or at least quiet) by end-of-day.
We have stayed together, I think, because, despite all that I've....
said above, .....
24/7*****, whether we say it or not, for each other we feel love.
(May 25th-27th,2023)
Some definitions:
** VENOM: poison
*** Immensely: 'Hugely; extremely; vastly.'
**** Shrew: an unpleasant, ill-tempered woman characterised....
by scolding, nagging, and aggression
[also it is a very small mammal, with a nasty bite]
***** 24/7: around the clock: all day, every day
"And venomous words-spoken, " they usually stab first, then later the venom seeps in. Great concept Bri.
The power of words surpasses that of the sword, as they can inflict greater harm on us. Persistent criticism from one's spouse can have adverse impacts on both mental and physical well-being. Articulate poem, All Stars.
Life is like that, Bri! Especially married life… But, nothing like that, too
Words do more damage, may be, than, the Venom, I suppose, you have antivenoms to treat and get rid off, but words keep coming back to hurt you, several times, again and again. Too Good.5 Stars
I just read two poems by Sheeya, from 2016 and from this year [Kings And Paupers and You [sic] Bouquet Of Love]. They are both very good, but her 'English' has much improved. ;)
I reccomend another PH poem by Crimson Love, entitled Venomous Words. bri : )

Try one more may me LUCKY Five, just kidding as we all do but will that really make us '5 (or 3) years old', and 'autistic', as you said? ? ?
Yes, all scientists/doctors agree that autism is a direct result of too much 'kidding' in infancy. Sorry, maybe I should not make jokes 'at the expense of' autistics and those who care for them and care about them. My grandson is 'autistic'.
Oh! Bri! , I never knew autism could transmit hereditarily. That too upwards from grandchild to grandfather!
Yes, definitely 'kidding' is a sure sign of being under six (6) years old.
