Listening And Its Benefits Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Often...
Talking,
About that which doesn't fit...
Opens a locked door immediately,
To allow communication to flow through it.
And often...
Talking,
Permits an understanding to begin.
With an ending of assumptions started,
And having not a need for arguments.

Listening and its benefits,
Increases interest and dividends.
Listening and its benefits,
Happens when a mouth is closed...
With ears left open to comprehend.

Often...
Talking,
About that which doesn't fit...
Opens a locked door immediately,
To allow communication to flow through it.

Listening has its benefits,
And increases interest with dividends.
When a mouth stays open nothing is heard,
And communication splits to leave balled fists...
With a huffing and a puffing nobody quits.

Often...
Talking,
Permits an understanding to begin.
With an ending of assumptions started,
And having not a need for arguments.
