Words

its amazing the power words can hold.
Some can cut deep, 
And others you keep.
Words can be said in many ways,
They can be written,
signed or spoken the same.
I prefer to write it.
you may prefer something different

Words are the fruit that flies from the 2-edged sword. This is such a nice dictionary definition of words, I think Webster needs to update! Gwendolen

Words can definitely cut deep, Cory. Although I enjoy writing, I majored in Speech and appreciate the opportunity to communicate verbally. It seems to add to the expression, although there are certainly many great poems that touch us as well. Of course, before giving a speech one has to write it first. Very interesting poem!! Love, Carolyn

Words have two ways of looking at it positive and negative depending on their character....Good one and I prefer writing too...so that the right meaning is conveyed...
