The power of words surpasses that of the sword, as they can inflict greater harm on us. Persistent criticism from one's spouse can have adverse impacts on both mental and physical well-being. Articulate poem, All Stars.
Life is like that, Bri! Especially married life… But, nothing like that, too
Words do more damage, may be, than, the Venom, I suppose, you have antivenoms to treat and get rid off, but words keep coming back to hurt you, several times, again and again. Too Good.5 Stars
I just read two poems by Sheeya, from 2016 and from this year [Kings And Paupers and You [sic] Bouquet Of Love]. They are both very good, but her 'English' has much improved. ;)
I reccomend another PH poem by Crimson Love, entitled Venomous Words. bri : )
I give you 4 stars - 1 minus for erasing Love from your dictionary.
I'll take the 4; I'm desparate! ! ! Or is it 'desperate'? It is 'desperate dĕs′pər-ĭt adjective Having lost all hope; despairing. Marked by, arising from, or showing despair. Reckless or violent because of despair'.
Oh, 'Love' IS in my 'dictionary', I just usually use it for ice cream and, sometimes, for birds. bri : )
Try one more may me LUCKY Five, just kidding as we all do but will that really make us '5 (or 3) years old', and 'autistic', as you said? ? ?
Yes, all scientists/doctors agree that autism is a direct result of too much 'kidding' in infancy. Sorry, maybe I should not make jokes 'at the expense of' autistics and those who care for them and care about them. My grandson is 'autistic'.
Oh! Bri! , I never knew autism could transmit hereditarily. That too upwards from grandchild to grandfather!
Yes, definitely 'kidding' is a sure sign of being under six (6) years old.
Now I understand why you are not fond of Love poetry, having been through four marriages and still not finding genuine love. Love is fleeting and often mistaken for . Your poem is reflective and insightful, Bri.
Actually I MAY HAVE finally found 'genuine love', but, if I have, I could suggest some improvements! ! ! ! No separation nor divorce is imminent [[ THAT I KNOW OF ]].
The idiom 'take one's breath away' means: (Figuratively) to overwhelm someone with beauty or grandeur; to surprise or astound someone.
We should always be very careful about our words, especially when we say anything negative.
: ) It's easy to GIVE that advice, but NOT so easy to TAKE that advice. Thanks Bharati. : )
I agree that words can be more venomous than snake poison.Bad words can take reationships to very low from where sometimes it is not possible to go back.
Well, given a choice, I would usually take the words rather than the snake bite. Yikes! ! I DID find a poisonous snake on this property, a small Copperhead. I bit it and it died.

"And venomous words-spoken, " they usually stab first, then later the venom seeps in. Great concept Bri.
