So true; words can be as biting as lobster claws and can leave permanent scars!
very clever.
A lot said in a few words! (Plus I learned a NEW word.)
And doesn't it hurt.
Well said in just those few words.
Very nicely done Laurie...unexpected but very good.
Nice one. I like that you didn't mention the word 'red' in yours.
Ouch! painful, but great! ;D
I love these challenges because our minds work so uniquely.
This is a great little nugget of rich imagery and diction.
Oh my! I must look up: cicatricial. Enjoyed as always your words.
brilliant one.
OMG - Laurie ... truth cutting to the quick!! Some words/remarks cut to the bone - and some are very difficult to heal!!
Imagery is superb ~~ thank you for sharing.
