Thanks Dolly for the kind review of my post. It felt good to write a little as the fog is starting to lift from my post surgery complications. However I am still in the hospital and not sure when they will release me. Lol, thankful to sneak out when they're not looking and go to FS land to see all my friends again. Thanks again my dear friend!

I hope you are fully recovered soon Debi x x x
Comment from GARY MACLEAN
Now there are two cliches' that work well together. The pen is indeed mightier than the sword but if there is no action to back it up then they both fall flat.
When I read the description for this contest, I thought it was going to be a difficult one. How do you tie two typically different statements together, so they still make sense? Well, you skillfully did it and it earned you a six-star rating from me.

Gary, this is how backed up I am on my thank you messages, even though I think we did talk after you gave me this awesome review and stars. Thanks tho for the kind review of my post.

You stay in there as long as they think you should, maybe longer. It's the place for you right now. Just get better so you can come back full-time you writer of the month you.

Thanks my awesome friend. I was back in icu for two days as vitals crashed again, but back in a regular room.
FYI, I gave you a shout out on my review to Terry's addiction story. And nope, didn't call you eagle eye. Lol

Comment from Wendy G
You have juxtaposed two sayings in a clever way as a response to the prompt, so it is a thought-provoking nugget. Best wishes for your entry in the contest.

Thanks so much Wendy! As always I appreciate your lovely review and very kind comments.
Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
Terrific job!!
You gave the prompt a nice twist and were successful at weaving the two cliques together, very clever and creative.
Did you create the artwork shown? The image enhances your carefully selected words.
I appreciate the overall presentation and double sentiment.
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Jumbo J
Hi Author,
a very clever pairing... and it seems the 'Action' has taken the crown in both cliché's.
Great presentation, and delivery and a couple of my favorite cliché's playing together in perfect harmony.
All the very best in this contest Author... I enjoyed your wit.
With our thoughts we create...
composed articulation.
Kind regards,
James.

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Don't you just shudder when professional, published authors resort to cliche's in narrative? Dialogue is one thing - a cornball character needs his cliche's in order to speak at all. But narrative? The author should be original.
Best wishes.

Thanks Wayne, I appreciate your review and appreciate & respect you and your feedback. But lately I have noticed that not all reviewers read the rules of the prompt, which I always take quite serious. I copied the rules here to give you an idea what was expected of us to enter this contest; take this challenge to another level, take any two or .more clichés and use them with or against each other. .....And that is exactly what I did. However Frank, l just love your reviews because l know you are doing exactly what you see fit. And for that, l just can't thank you enough!

Sorry, I was making a general comment about cliche's in published books. Of course your piece had to have a cliche'.
Comment from Raul1
I like this one liner cliche. It's beautifully written. The sentences flow with clarity. Excellent work! I have enjoyed reading your poem. Excellent work! No grammatical errors. Good luck!

Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is an excellent way to use two cliches and come up with a different perspective!
Actions speak louder than words but then again the pen is mightier than the sword is wonderfully creative and clever!
This one is my favorite so far!
Good luck with the contest!

Awe Jesse, I Always love hearing from you, because I know what you tell me is completely honest. You have no idea how I respect that.
