THOUGHT FOR THURSDAY - THE TONGUE IS LIKE A TWO-EDGED SWORD

WORDS

Words can cut
Words can heal
Words can wound
Words can kill

Time is short
Time is fast
Life on Earth
doesn't last

So use them wisely -
words and time
work with them -
not just to rhyme.

THOUGHT FOR THURSDAY: What is a petrologist?

Come back tomorrow to find out

Wonderful poem! I have no idea what petrologist is, though I can take a few wild guesses.

1.) a person who studies the remains of fossilized pets...:O
2.) a person who works in the petroleum industry and looks for oil fields.

Is it someone who works with petrol?

GG: My feet are not so good at dancing they are more like goo at dancing but words they dance in my head.

Now it's back to reality and away I go...to work

I love the poem, Kim! I meant to tell you I read a poem of yours on Miss Rumphius too I think last week, the Love/Loathe one. That was good too!

My guess is someone who studies fossil fuels?

Great poem, Kim.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your mom, too.

Ello - Ellen Oh said...

I love that by the way!

And a petrologist is a petroleum finder right?

Kimbra Kasch said...

TTWC: Thanks for the words about my Mom, it was about a year ago but it still hurts.
