This really deserves a six stars You have done such a good job with this poem that it leaves me chilled. A stunningly good work. Your description starkly real, the mood captured. The desire for murder very real. Great work.

This is an absolutely fantastic piece of writing from the author. The writer is back to his very best in this post. This is a terrible subject, but it is one that needs to be addressed. You just have to look at the news on a daily basis to see how big this problem really is. I agree with the author: We must stop this.

A very graphic and chilling poem which typifies a child sexual assault by the very person who should love and protect her the most-her father.
Very confronting and difficult to read but you have raised awareness of the act of child abuse and the conseequences it may cause.

you have emulated every aspect of the feelings of the child with great depth an accuracy
flows well easy read
yes in every country this is a crime so hard to stamp out

Hi Dean Kuch,
Child abuse is a horrendous aspect of our - and every - society. I have been appalled to be offered children in the streets in some of the countries I have travelled to on business, and in some societies this seems to be 'acceptable'. I'm not at all sure how we can ever completely stamp it out.
Your poem takes the reader on a frightening journey and your Author Notes set out some awful statistics. A good way to raise awareness I think.

You have a good one here Dean. I don't know why such monsters are allowed to remain in society. They should be locked up and the key thrown away.
Excellent work and very good research.
Cheers

Wow! That is some deep and heavy imagery painting horrendous demons of destructive pride. I pray that Light will come to those whom take advantage of God's tiny clones. Traumatic acts of violence and greed take hold the tiny babies seed. No nourishment to be fed anew, the child must suffer greatly through and through. How sad, how sad that man could be so cruel, to such a precious gift, you fool, you fool.
Let us ALL reach out our compassionate hearts, to those you feel so far apart. Thanks you sharing this painful reality, that truly needs to be addressed.

That was an awesome poetic response, MolronE13. I really appreciate it, too!
You are right, the topic needs to be brought to the forefront much more often than it is currently. Way more often...
Thanks again.

You have incredible sensory details and your rhyme and rhythm is impeccable. Scary and horrifying, but man can you write.

Thanks so much, maggiedams, what a wonderful compliment. I really appreciate you reviewing this for me. It's an ugly topic that I firmly believe needs far more attention than it currently receives.
Thanks so much, again...

are impeccable (what was I thinking?)
