    a split tongue

    positive and negative
    sounds alike
    tones
    word sniper
    straight like an arrow
    to the core
    causing growth
    or corrosion
    beyond an organ
    attaching and detaching
    colonies to states
    fire and ice
    rainbow moods
    quakes or no quakes
    a split tongue

    Some people throw out words without thinking of the hurt they might bring................a very nice little ditty...................gogant

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
