Blurred Between the Lines
Sometimes our words are not enough.
Expressing meanings can be rough
If we don't understand
That tone of voice affects the way
We're understood in what we say,
And can in ways not planned.
Expressions on our face add to
Interpretations of our view,
Which sometimes can mislead.
When we discuss important things,
It helps to think of all that brings
Success with words we need!
About this poem
When spoken words aren't really clear.
