Comment from Pam Lonsdale
This seems a perfect example of the writing prompt, using these two well-known cliches against one another. And the artwork is appropriate and very beautiful.
A good entry for this contest - good luck:-)

Your granddaughter is very talented. I love her artwork.
Your words a very clever and creative. Here you took two common cliches and melded them together to make a cohesive and profound statement.
Well done!
Good luck in the contest.

Mary

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
You did a great job, Mystery Author, combining the
two clichés. Your entry flows smoothly, the meaning
is great and true, and the art is supportive--very
original, too.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

Comment from Bill Schott
This clashing of cliches pits the writing and the wrestling against each other as one ponders which will be more lasting and effective. Which historic event can we go back and see, and which can we recount through literature.?

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice artwork.
-I like how you arranged your cliches
to make a point that reads like a tanka.
-You begin with one; have a good
transition phrase, and end with
a cliche that also has a good message.
-A good entry; good luck.

You are very welcome.
Comment from LisaMay
Your granddaughter's artwork is a fitting accompaniment to this combination which shows how cliches can be opposites... in this case the first part extols the physical over the verbal, but the second part tries to convince us that the pen is a mightier weapon. As writers, I think we should believe the latter.

lol, I'd never really thought about it, but those two pearls of wisdom really are opposed to one another aren't they? Thanks for the post - you gave me a smile and a realisation!

Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
These two cliches are cleverly paired together. It works and it makes sense as a poem. I like that the font is large and easy to read. The drawing is great. I know who this is, but cannot come up with the name, because this granddaughter has contributed her artwork before in a contest. She has talent! The first two words need to be brought over to the left a tad to balance the text better. Good luck in the contest.
