Words can be heavy.
Damaging.
Impossible to forget the punch, slice, cut.
“What the fuck were you thinking?”
“You’re such a stupid idiot!”
Words.
Evil words spoken in evil tones.
Not even the fastest man in the world could outrun the sting.

Exactly right! In the wrong hands (and out of ugly mouths) words can be deadly. Great write!
Whoa. This. Was. Amazing.
Great job–I see the results of damaging words all the time among the kids I teach.
i can only imagine how often you see this as a teacher. saddens me greatly.
I love how you incorporated the prompt into the last line. Word sure can be heavy!

Words wrapped in lead with a silver tip. Great take.
Indeed. I liked this take on the prompt!
Love that word image! Powerful!
You build a great rhythm with the short and longer lines. I also love how you’ve incorporated the prompt.
Love the structure of this and the last line really makes it.
So true, love the last line. And a reminder to take care with what we say.
Love your take on the prompt. Words can punch, cut and slice.
So very true. Great take on the prompt! 🙂
Love the different angle you took here, and the way you worked up to it.
Indeed. The pen is mightier than the sword.
Poignant..and so true!! Brilliant take on the prompt!
Got my vote. Powerful message in only a few necessary words. Love this.
Dangerous business we blog owners are in playing with such sharp instruments. Brings to light how important it is to be careful and skilled at putting them together! Fresh take on the prompt and the folding in of it really packed a punch!
I love everything about this post!
Words can wound and scar. Words can be taken out of context and have multiple meanings. Words are a puzzle with pieces missing. Love said so often it covers hate. Yes, words can be evil and they can be blessed and pleasing.
