Amen sister. How did I miss this? Parents tell their kids not to say bad things then cuss up a storm. We say get along with people, and then talk bad about"those" people.
We can do better. Karen

Can see why this was a winner, very well done. It's more difficult (at least I think it is) to write short poems like this that resonate and stick with you. You've mastered the knack of it here. Great work

Wow this is a really powerful poem with imagery that really combines a really important message here. I believe that our behaviours are monejy see monkey do from our childhood etc, and that we are victims of victims and nobody can be blamed, though it is up to the individual to stop that cycle so it doesn't conti me. Very well done Debi, excellent work my friend
Best Wishes

Nicki, this is a subject that is hard for me as well as anyone else. My parent's fought, my husband and I tried hard not to argue in front of our kids. Instead I try to prevent it. That is why I learned what they lived. But I hated it so I changed it in my home.
Thanks for the kind words for this. Lotsa love and hugs. Debi

Author,
Children are born innocent. Not a bone of hate, racist, bullying, or any other meal intention. They only have love in there heart.
They learn the "bad" from certain surroundings. Surrounding we never have our kids... only the good!
Excellent poem,
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks John, so very much for this wonderful review and sweet comments. And you didn't even know who I was. Thank you from the bottom of my hearts. Now I can finally tell you who I am and I thank you too for this awesome six stars. Thanks again, dear brother. Love, Debi
Comment from Nellys1983
Lovely little haiku with a lovely message. Unfortunately though we seem to teach kids these days more and more the wrong sort of lessons and then moan at them when they don't act like perfect angels. I enjoyed your poem though and always try to teach them correctly- as best I can.

Nelly, I thank you so much for the kind words for "They Learn What They Live Poem." It is something that we can't teach our grandkids enough is how to show love and be respectful in all they do. I appreciate your thoughtful comments very much
Comment from Cecilia A Heiskary
This is a great 5-7-5 poem. It is so true that children learn from watching their parents. So many kids come from hateful homes and they learn that, It's a vicious circle.
Great job and good luck in the contest.

Wise words to live by. They will observe and learn from what we do and not just what we say. Our example will speak volumes. Be true to our words and they will follow.

This is important, perfect, and important. I've seen this image before and have always liked it. As a teacher and mom who left passed abuse, I can vouge for the significance of this.
Best wishes,
Alex

Of course. If you ever need to talk message or Alexandratrovato8@gmail.com.
I get confused about what's fiction or non fiction. Alex :)

Excellent 5-7-5 form and use of words. You say much in few words and this is a theme that is relevant to today's world. We do set by example and teach children by our ways.

Excellent entry for the 5-7-5 Poetry Contest.
Poor kids that live with violent parents.
Good syllables count and connection between lines. Beautiful presentation.
