dull rumors, they are really very sharp and murderous. Sorry if you have been hurt. Let it roll off like water on a duck's back.

So much truth in your words. Rumors sure do a lot of damage--sometimes they cause lifetime hurts. Powerful way to convey your message. Thank you for your thoughts. Am feeling a bit better today. I appreciate your concern. Karen

I like this very vivid, concrete 6-worder! Thanks for liking my Deposition poem, and placing it in your contest...I learned a lot about that piece just from your small blurb description...it was fun!
