The Last Word

Oh so short.

I know you like the last word
I know you want the last word
I know you yearn for that last word
I know you lust for that last word

Here it is... 

Was it good for you too?

I love it especially how you had the last word. The sarcasm it made me laugh.

[Tam Warink]

Hi! Thanks, Meraki! (What is your name that is so hard to pronounce?) Someone can only really have the last word if you never talk to them again, right? Being a little sarcastic is probably better than that (most of the time.) Often we just get too comfortable with the ones we're close to. So much so that we forget that being quiet and listening with thoughtful respect often promotes a similar response in someone we are (often struggling) to communicate with. Again, thanks very much for reading.

[Meraki]

Yes you do have a point there. No thanks necessary it was my pleasure

[Draven]

Funny how a talented writer can make such a simple poem that is still so fascinating.

[Tam Warink]

Thanks, Cas. It's a mood thing. We all struggle with something, right?

[Joiedevivre]

oh yes. the famous last word! Concise, surprising and forceful write in its concession.

[Tam Warink]

Thanks. Now that you draw that aspect out for examination it is rather a zen thing isn't it? A reed, bending, survives the wind.

[Joiedevivre]

exactly, as the chinese proverb and martial art professes :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

great sarcasm...it oozes...

and "it was good for me"

reading your last word and all the ones that came before.

[Tam Warink]

Thanks, Jacob. It's like an steam locomotive sometimes, isn't it? The necessity to vent a little steam so that the boiler doesn't explode. "The steam of sarcasm.." ~ now that's a thought. Thanks again! ;-)

Clever.
I like poetry that ending makes me think, and you just did--the last word. Powerful!

[Tam Warink]

Thank you, Belle. That was a kind thing to say, really.

[Lydia Shutter]

Smiling here.....you really made him feel small with this....and that is great! Usually people who are adamant, are the ones who are wrong. Lydi**

[Pryde Foltz]

Hahahahahaha. I usually let the other person have the last word. People are nicer if you let them save face. Guess what? You are getting a hundred. ( I sang that last bit)

Sometimes I think we need be satisfied if we can get the last punctuation mark...

[Tam Warink]

Help, Chris. I am in a quandary. How do I reply to reviews without SEEMING like I need to have the last word? I think I've pen'd myself into a corner - or worse.

[Chris]

with invisible ink? or empty quotation marks?

[Sheila Kline]

And all fell silent when she spoke..............lol
But, I am not sure I must always have the last word as I like to debate far too much!! It invigorates my mind and spirit!

[Tam Warink]

I have no idea what strange perturbation of the planet encouraged me write that but once again you have helped to imbue a cosmic meaning and sense of worth into and otherwise questionable assemblage. Many thanks, Shelia.
