Knife







The knife twists in the wound
As I sit and watch

The pen scratches on paper
And I still feel inexperienced.



Undated

  1. The twisting knife can make only superficial wounds. A scratching pen can still cut so deep. The pen, as they say is mightier than the knife

  9. As an old adage goes - the pen is mightier... ... ... (Just looked up to see that it has already been quoted!)

    The hand that wields a pen can make wounds look "artistically brutal" as opposed to a knife's macabre. Poetic Justice is served with a pen. Not a knife.

    Loved your lines. Profound as ever. :)

    Peace.

    each wound has to be a fresh wound if we try to heal it and each word is a new word when we try to write it..
