Hold your peace and learn art

 Hold your peace and learn an art,

I tell you its a million-dollar deal,

Hold your tongue  and learn an art,

I tell you it's a billion-dollar deal.

Yes, my dear deal in gold,

Why deal in silver called speech,

Hold on to your peace hold on,

Silence has gold for each.

Since an age, we try to speak,

Since an age, we clarify,

Does our speech clarify,

Or do the people get petrified.

So deal in gold it has worth,

Diamond the world will consider you,

If my words are heard,

If only my words are heard.

William Willis, I think this is wonderful dear Reginold, it really got hold of me. "Hold your peace and learn an art" for a start is such an engaging title ...so 1 point for that. I like how you convey the message with the repetition of "I tell you it's a million-dollar" so another point for that. I like how you also convey that silence is golden, as with most art subjects....it really is. ****My LINES OF THE DAY**** goes to the intelligent "Yes my dear deal in gold, Why deal in silver called speech, Hold on your peace hold on, Silence has gold for each." Another point for that dear Reginold. Holding our thought is explained away in the penultimate verse which I award another point to. So all in all a superb poem and one I could read time and time again...and for that have another point, which makes it a 5 pointer. Well penned dear sir! Wm. ***** Scotland 09/02/2015 5:47 AM

S.zaynub Kamoonpuri Aha wow creative! To the tune of the phrase, 'that silence is golden' u crafted in brilliant shine. I think people shouldn't abuse the freedom of speech just to abuse others yes. Kudos. Tanzania 09/02/2015 7:07 PM
