words can heal, they can transform, they can turn dark days bright, but they can also inflict wounds, destroy, so they must be used with great care. watch your tongue, lest you fork lightning of withering havoc when passion catches fire. mind your words; recognize their power. a misused tongue, an epee piercing deep into the core of the soul. stay calm, count to 10; remember, nasty invectives can never be unsaid. when angry, watch your tongue!

Wow, Edward, you just opened a whole new window for me to explore your Yalto form...I love it! Your words stung the page like a wasp, my friend, Emile.

Thank you so much, Emile:-) Being a master of the Yalto form yourself, I'm rather excited to see a double from you, my friend.

What a great use for your Yalto - its double entendre, it’s double scooped delight! Hugs ~ Kim
