Politeness (Triolet, pub in www.poetrysoup.com in Nov 2007)

Politeness

Whether real hard or pretended to be so

Any heart can be pierced by one's politeness

Without archery skill and arrow and bow

Whether real hard or pretended to be so

Affects positively, works slow although

Wins at last in materialistic race

Whether real hard or pretended to be so

Any heart can be pierced by one's politeness
