Poem -
Bullets & Building Blocks
Words burst out like wayward bullets,
wounding confidence,
piercing innocent souls...
killing hope
while
severing relationships
and
destroying love...
leaving
unseen scars.
Yet
words can construct like Building blocks,
boosting confidence,
encoUraging impressionable souls...
nurturing hope
whIle
solidifying relationships
and
amplifying Love...
creating
unDeniable joy.
Slinging
bullets
or
stacking
blocks?

Hi Jacki Yes a great message here in your piece
the young are indeed impressionable, to jeopardize
their path in life by harsh words and wrong information
can be so derogatory So much better to encourage to
build confidence in them
love the theme and title
Great write !
Best wishes Debs
Thank you so much, Debs! Once slung, the damage is done... :( Easier said than done, though! Always appreciate your support... Happy writing!*!*!
Hi Jacki, words are like beasts that are untamed and the world we live is a wilderness full of them. ## we should be careful what we say to our kids because they copy what we say## the mass media play also an important role. ## Nice poem.
Hugs and cheers
Great analogy, Leah! I'm guilty of wanting to grab back words from the air once in awhile... I think that's what makes us human but if we but stop and think twice before they are said... :) Greatly appreciate your comment. Happy writing!*!*!
