Words that ring so true Dean, the way we shape our children is the way we are shaping their journey through life...so many things that happen as a child stay for life......excellent job my friend.

Words wielded to wound. ..I have no words to define superiority of the haiku here...the creativity ...extraordinary. The picture here leaves a deep impact just like these perfect phrase.

Yes words do wound but I think we have to be careful of what we don't say, more - just from personal experience.
A very beautiful presentation, Dean

    I agree, it is much better to walk away than to say something in anger to anyone, much less to a spouse or to your child.
    I deeply appreciate the positive feedback and I'm very glad you liked it.
    Take care.

There is certainly a lot of alliteration going on in your haiku:) The cruelness of the tongue can be horror for sure. Great overall satori.

I don't know where you keep getting these amazing illustrations !? We discus at
home the issue of emotional abuse all the time. It seems there is some evidence that words are actually more damaging along with some other perps on young people, statistiscally speaking.

    I have so many illustrations and animations stored up in my Photobucket library, frierajac. I'll probably never be able to use them all.
    When I was young I would have much rather received a spanking than to have one of my parents yell at me in anger.
    It's probably that way for many kids still today.
    Thanks very much for reading.

You are so right - your words ring with truth -
and there's those who need to engage brain
before speaking them.

a clever use of words, Dean - and so well presented -

Great W alliteration in this descriptive Haiku Dean and your words are so true. Words can hurt and can sometimes be long remembered well after the speaker has forgotten them. Very good, really agree with this one.
cheers,
valda

The 'w' alliteration at the end of the second line and all through the last describe the affects of a bully's words well. I was picked on in high school, so I can attest this is how it feels.

Keep writing

Good morning, Dean

I don't know which has the greater impact, the visceral images of the poem or the picture. Either way well done!

Take care and stay safe,

Ray
