  1. Words as a weapon -- words spoken from ignorance. Good poem.

  4. I have always loved words that painted pictures... and this one does it so vividly... my favorite form of haiku - free from rules.
    I like it so much.
    ॐ नमः शिवाय
    Om Namah Shivaya

  5. I've noticed quite a few people lately are 'double-dipping' their works for separate challenges.

    (I'm gonna have to get on the ball - work smarter, not harder!)

    Nice One Shot!

  6. That's the worst feeling—being on the recieving end of hurtful words like that. Cool that you channel that into a haiku stanza. Happy One Shot!

  7. Oh, this says so much in a few perfectly chosen words. Words - ignorant, hurtful ones - can definitely be fatal wounds to the heart.

  9. STICKS AND STONES was a LIE perpetrated by children. Words have power, they live forever in your heart. Each time we speak we can praise, rejoice or denigrate and hurt. It's a choice. This is longer than your poem. Also, not as good.
    Bravo. Thanks. Gay (@beachanny)

  10. Once spoken can never be erased --
    Interesting how a profound truth can be penned in such few words.

    Thought provoking, Nice One Shot.

  29. Ouch! So true! Once uttered, some words just linger on forever.. even if the intent was never to hurt.
