"Admonished"
Did I REMIND of something,
REPROVE in any way,
ADVISED you ... take my COUNCIL,
Or WARNED against black spell?
First took the word for granted,
Then tried to get it right.
What was amiss, I wonder,
Or was it quite all right?
If only you could tell me,
What was the point you made.
"Admonished" was your answer,
That came to me through mail.
If only you could help me,
And put me on right track,
The word has many meanings,
Which is the one you meant?
REPROVE in any way,
ADVISED you ... take my COUNCIL,
Or WARNED against black spell?
First took the word for granted,
Then tried to get it right.
What was amiss, I wonder,
Or was it quite all right?
If only you could tell me,
What was the point you made.
"Admonished" was your answer,
That came to me through mail.
If only you could help me,
And put me on right track,
The word has many meanings,
Which is the one you meant?

I think I understand,
But I prefer for sure
Our Ladybee's comment.
Yes, language is quite challenging and written language, without voice inflection, is even more so. Knowing the context of the remark adds understanding, too. Communication between people is so very important; and, when people matter to each other, they take the time to help each other understand. The narrator has asked the question. Now, they must await the answer.
