DMC: "Sticks and Stones" by Cory Corrado




STICKS AND STONES
         ~with a line from "Truth, by Tyrone Bittings"

Unkind words
sleight of tongue swords that scar spirit and soul. You
and I wield great power― hurt harm or heal. How will we choose?

Leave your golden shovel on our March 2018 padlet. All contributions will be included in a wrap-up celebration this Friday, March 30th, and one lucky participant will win a copy of her new companion novel to Bronx Masquerade:

  5. I saw this when I posted mine to the padlet - and loved how, in different ways, we've said the same thing ... from the same poem... in different ways. Love your words!
