Oh my God Glenn. You scared me. I thought you'd lost it! You really brought the reality home by writing in the first person but thank God you left the link to clarify. I was packed and on my way to NZ to save little Delcilia. What a tragedy...it's a sick world we live in at times.
Thanks for stopping by :)
I hope that this isn't what's in front of you all day- though, I guess it's in front of us all, isn't it- news stories like the one you link to.
Hi Poetry Thursday people.. I think the link for this weeks one should be...
On Inspiration
This one was written as a halloween piece... sorry for the confusion!
This poem is so true-to-life Crunchy. Our silent everyday thoughts towards situations and people, are suddenly heard over a microphone.
You bring it out into the open.
Great poem.
My heart is thumping, my gut is wrenching, and my mind is hot with furor. You've evoked feelings I have never experienced with poetry. Thank you for addressing this horrific subject with such ardor! That poor baby, and all those who come after her. Amazing work, on a tender topic! Very scary how well done this is! You've captured the abuser perfectly. Physical and emotional abuse, a horrendous injustice!
You've captured this horrific domestic scene with such gruesome, yet beautiful, candor. The voice is so believable that I find myself shaking in fear at the thought of hearing someone say "burny burny."
Serves that mother right to be locked up for 16 years. I have sympathy for her as an abused woman, but that sympathy is cancelled out by the very fact that she became the abuser to her own daughter. It's a sad sad world we live in.
Did you know these people? It's even more tragic when poetry like this is based on real life events.

Hey Glenn, positively gruesome mate, I love it! I just finished reading Mute by PA (picked up on Amazon after you recommended it) and I loved it. What an imagination he has, thanks for the tip. C-ya,
Bob
ouch that hurts
Thank you all for your comments. I have had the pilonidal operation and have been unable to sit for a couple of weeks... even now it is painful! I have been reading your blogs as much as possible but writing much was out of the question :-(
