Words-Just Write-Contest

"Words can cause life or death~ So choose them wisely." The tongue can be, sweet or nasty, so listen more Saying vile things can be likened to a farmer that had a bad season, That sown seeds of destruction with- out rhyme or reason. Words are good, sometimes bad. They can build up, or bring down a soul. Depends on the giver ~ One must be to slow to speak. Our words can be so powerful~ So let your way you say be good seeds, Sown in a ripe harvest, the human heart. 08/11/19 FORMS USED Quote Senryu Etheree couplet For writing challenge 1, August 2019- Just write- Poetry contest.

Alexis dear friend - words uttered are impossible to take back and written ones hold the same catastrophic consequence - logic is called for and listening and understanding what others say is paramount to ones answer. Congratulations my friend such a clever write. Hugs and Blessings, Jennifer

I enjoyed reading your entry, too, Alexis - we both mixed it up. I regret that you and I both relate to what I wrote. Lately, I feel that I can't keep up with people, house, etc., and I keep praying to seize the days. I'll not give up, even in pj's I keep hope. Good and deep write that you composed, dear one. Be blessed ... CayCay

wise words indeed Alexis and things we say or write can't be taken back so we need to engage brain before speaking or putting something into written words:-( hugs Jan xx
