And I thought all you wrote were happy poems...interesting to see the approach you made to the topic. Beautiful rhyme scheme and word selection--good mix of simple and complex words to depict the thoughtless brutality and the complexity of pain inflicted. Ran out of six stars, but hope this fiver and all my sincerest praises compensate--Best to you in the contest!

Very graphic stuff, i felt the sadness and the violation, rolled together with a generous dose of reality. it is a shame there are so many depraved and heartless people out there, but it is some comfort to know that there are people, such as yourself, who bring these dark sins to light, and in doing so bring much needed attention, necessary to boost public awareness and aid in prevention, good job!

I'm crying from the pain... The intensity the horror of the moment yet the still of no one else being around your poem contains all of this my heart is racing, racing as tho'...(scratch that thought) it was hard for me to read this for reasons I dare not say but if you were going for vivid honestly imagery you've claimed it!

What a dark descriptive writing of this outrageous despicable act! If there is one thing that makes my blood boil... without a doubt, it's this! I become incoherent in my rage when discussing it! Thanks for writing it... your friend, Jack xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This tells of a violent act of rape. How the victim is approached and attached. The vicious act of rape it self as he steals her innocence away. I felt her shame as she tries to hide. This is the most vile act one person can do to another. This is an awesome message. Your picture complemented your words. Good luck

Excellent poem and very tragic, but yes, happens way too often. Very well written. Congrats on being picked for poem of the month nomination.

Fantastic realistic look at the emotions so many women feel every minute of he day throughout the world. Your words allow the reader to feel the fear, agony, loss of dignity, and shame that these criminals force on others without any regret. You have spoken my language here, my friend.

    Thanks you. Sometimes we just HAVE to let it all be said in the same reality it happens in ... for the impact it provides in knowing what is going on.

    Absolutely; you can't paint pretty pictures about everything in life.

Yesterday was sex at its best, today is sex at its worst, truly horrendous. But the gift of your talent is amazing just the same.

In shame, this virgin now in silence cries,

her innocence upon a dark street lies.
