Please—

a postscript to persuade

To tug at the heartstrings;

beckon to the task conveyed


One word that, spoken in any element

will likely affect an outcome

It is something more than etiquette


A force beyond language;

just sincere morality

in simple begging anguish

—please.

I read the word "please" in a book and noticed that it affected a character's choice. It got me thinking.
