Watch out my friend, watch out always
Be cautious about what you talk
Carries farther the voice you make
Talking at times is no cakewalk!
Let out my friend, let out always
While speaking your intentions- bright-
Talking around the issues won't
Bring you the advantages right
Look out my friend, look out always
A catwalk on your tread in life
Walking ignoring the frontal stage
Might bring down your chances safe
Try out my friend try out always
Ere attempting a hop on hopes
You learn to boil the water first
Before you learn to cook some soup!
'Soup' is only an allegoric poetic symbol used to elucidate the poem concept...true, nowadays one need not boil water to prepare soup (this, you know better than me!) but the implication there is one must learn to boil water first before learning serious cooking...thanks a lot Elena, for your nice comment

‘You learn to boil water first/’Before you learn to cook a soup! ’…nice finish Priming, programming and rationizing are required before jumping… Poetry requires exalted but with aesthetics…it’s priming… Thanks for such a PP [Practical Poetry] 10//10 Ms. Nivedita UK
Very lofty...'think(or learn) before you do'...I agree...yes...boiled water is good...I bow to your intelligence....thanks a lot Kesav

Lovely poem, yes you are right we should control what comes out of own mouth or better keep it shut if any bad can do..but lol, also I must understand that there is not necessary need of boiling water for a soup becouse nowadays we can get use of microwaves in this speed world we have its hard to get some pacience..
