Probably not. I like the simplicity of this plaintive little poem, but I have to say the prognosis is not good.

How many misunderstandings would be resolved much faster if the whats and whys were just explained instead of letting silence speak the displeasure. *S*

Excellent write, my friend... one of these days, you're gonna have to teach me how to make such a powerful statement in so few words! *S*

I can relate to your words...been held in the grip of silence once too often.

Excellent write.  So much said with so few words.

Better at listening! Your worth is beyond rubies..........

Actually I wrote this as a result of playing with words, just balancing and building, practicing poetry -- not because of anything that's going on in my life. It seemed good to me, so I put it up....

Ed, it IS  good!! You thought right!!
I think I'm going to study you along with Local Rebel
on your poetry with few words. Both of you say so
much in such few words. I want to learn to do that!
Thanks for the lesson.
Hugs  
Ethel
