0 4 Tongues Made of Glass
if only
our tongues
were made
of glass
how much
more careful
we would be
when we
speak
—Shaun Shane
I really like this poem because it uses a metaphor to explain that we need to watch our words when we speak. Some people talk without thinking, and they end up hurting others. In this poem, the author says that if our tongues were made of glass, we would be more careful with it, because glass is fragile. In real life, even though our tongues are not made from glass, we still need to be careful with our words so we don’t hurt anyone else.
