Abrasive words
Spontaneity turned to a handful of dust
Irretrievable, the loss.
The words this week: abrasive, handful, loss

The Pursuit of Writing
Shail's Nest 
Oh !!! I didnt know whats this Haiku is all abt…
I tried breaking my head to write something with these 3 words…hhmmmm…..bad try….
Urs is so good….how long u take to write, given the words ????
@UmaS,
Sometimes very less time š like this one. I just saw the words now. But sometimes I take forever š Thank you š
Well expressed. I wish Spontaneity could say, “Bricks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me’
@Indian Homemaker,
Just wrote a comment on spontaneity at FB and I was thinking of writing a post. Your comment too prompts me to write a post on it š It is a fav topic of mine š
Words really mess up the fun…
I had a bad experience…

@Lost in thoughts,
I read the post and left a comment too š
As Thumper’s father told him – in Bambi – “If you can’t say nothin’ nice, then don’t say nothin’ at all.”
@Altonian,
How absolutely true! š
Here are two tries, one technical (from the engineer in me) and another that attempts to be philosophical.
1) A HANDFUL of ABRASIVE particles were used to rub the surface of the metal container resulting in a LOSS of sheen
2)Just a HANDFUL of ABRASIVE words can result in the LOSS of an old warm friendship.
Regards
GV
@G Vishwanath,
Both are good ones š
Nice one Shail, I liked this.
@Altonian,
Thank you š
In those few syllables you captured the price of words unlovingly spoken.
@Kim Nelson,
The price most of the times is too heavy, isn’t it?? Thank you š
@Shail, It is too heavy!
She would bite our tongue or say what we mean? I think it’s always worth the risk to say what you mean..even if it means a loss..nicely done..Jae
@Jae Rose,
Thank you. Say what we mean firmly, not using abrasive words perhaps?? š
Well said. Once spoken, we can never retrieve any abrasive or hurtful words.
@RJ Clarken,
Yes we cannot! š Thank you.
Abrasive words can sometimes cut deeper than a knife. Hopefully the pain will not last long. Well done.
@V L Sheridan,
Thank you. They do wound you badly.
so sad that this is still so true.Great Haiku
@Sheilagh Lee,
Thank you š It happens a lot sadly enough.
That’s so simple and yet so powerful. Lovely!
You have a wonderful way with words, madam. š
@Priya Iyer,
Thank you. I am glad when someone says that š Coz I am told I write very long blogs š
