I am a poet and it's hard for me sometimes to understand the exact meanings of poems someone has written. I think this is one of those times. I wonder why "Wordplay" is the title of the poem?

I'm not too sure either. I'll have to study it more closely

@Prometheus_Arcanus Is this for a class or for your own interest?

I think the author is talking about retaliating or paying people back in their own coin. When he pays back, his strokes are fatal while the strokes he received through deception and dishonesty only hurt him.

To me it seems like they're referring to themselves and maybe a friend or lover who they fight with all the time. I don't understand what this "juug" is but the sword may represent hurtful words or actions. He/she uses this "sword" to return the hurt that was done to them.

Yeah that's similar to what I got from the poem as well...and I think "juug" means to stab, its slang

Nice poem well written. If it was mine which it is not would change the title to just The Word or our words or just word as word play gave me a sense of something else. Powerful that sword.

Are you doing homework? I think you should look it up for yourself.

@Prometheus_Arcanus Sorry, sometimes people come on here and want us to look things up for them. I don't have time to analyze the poem.
