Be careful with words you intone,
because words have lives of their own.
Words overblown, relayed on the phone,
words in harsh tones that jolt, stun and depose,
and shock us with what they disclose.
True. And nice rhyming too. Yah we must be careful what we say....except me....i m quick to apologize and wriggle out of the mess. Excellent cinquain.
Words are like bullets; once out of the barrel, cannot be retracked.
