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?

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!
