Synched Speech Bubbles

If you've been on this Earth for some time, you'll know that ill-timed speech can cause relationships tsunamis.

You'll understand its importance for building trust, resolving conflicts, connecting emotionally and managing expectations. 

It involves what's definitely not my strong suit - active listening. That, combined with respectfulness and clear expression, both verbally and non-verbally. 

Syncing speech is far from easy, but worth the effort - it gives relations needed balance. Enjoy this tritina poem. 

          Clear speech bubbles in a line

          Key unlocks the wounded heart

           Mends the soul and tends it fine

           Hearts will beat together fine

           When speech bubbles, in a line

           Sure words coming from the heart. 

           Minds do meld as one so fine

           All speech bubbles, in a line

           Thoughts and words come from the heart. 

            Speech so fine, in a line, mends wounded heart. 

Note:

I love tritinas for their short, simple structure, though writing them takes a little thought. If you notice, the end words of the first stanza are deliberately repeated in a set way in the second and third stanzas. So it flows as follows:

            1. line, heart, fine

            2. fine, line, heart

            3. fine, line, heart

There are three stanzas in a tritina poem with a final envoy, or line, that involves another key word/phrase from the poem:

              Speech bubbles, fine, line, heart.

              Do give it a try. They are quite short and fun to write too.
