Hello, Dean,

Insightful and pertinent to today's world, unfortunately. I have been in the receiving end many times and I can tell you that I know how it feels. It's especially tragic when it happens to young kids like your daughter. Good job, Dean. I want to see what your earlier work was like and it amazed me how many pages I had to go through to find this buried gem. Good job my friend. You are a very prolific writer.

    Thanks for digging through the slush and the slime to get to this, Gypsy. Tiffany's suicide really shocked us all, and there were no warning signs at all.
    I very much appreciate your review.

This poem's sentiment is close to being correct as far as the damage that is done. A chainsaw is probably closer to a description of the soul devastation. Sorry anyone has to experience this.

You have said so much with just a handful of words. And they are so true. We all have been hurt from the sharp tongues of friends and even family. Your presentation is great. Good luck. Bill

This was really well written piece. Words cut deep not only in the cyber space. And to heal these wounds is so hard. Great job, precisely written.

I do agree with the author, words are sharper than real blades, they cut deep, gaping wounds and eventhough the wound heals, the scar remains and the pain constant. The artwork and animated blood drips reinforced your message.

    Thanks very much, nassus1957, and I appreciate the fact that you enjoyed my 3-D Virtual style I utilized for this piece. I wanted it to make a strong statement, and I felt 17 simple syllables was not enough to achieve that goal. So far, the presentation has seemed to have helped heighten the effect of the message.
    Thanks so much, again...

YOUR GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING! what can I say,? the metaphorical moral of this little piece does cut deep. Sometimes the shortest passage can be the most poignant!
if I was that cyber bully, I would be absolutely shitting myself if I saw this little post! I hope you sent it on your daughter's behalf! to this cyber prick..gutless little arsewipe..I lead you one of my scalpels!

This is true, but the despicable people who do these things WANT to wound their victims. It gives them a feeling of power. Such people are insecure and unhappy with themselves, and making someone else feel as bad as they do about themselves somehow makes THEM feel better, superior. Explain this to your daughter. The more she ignores such behavior, the more THEY suffer. They WANT her to be upset, which is why they do it. So explain that no one who knows her believes it anyway. Let her read this.

Your words are piercing. Creative and dripping with visual imagery. Well thought out. Written quite eerie too. And the sound gives goosebumps. Excellent work.

I totally agree with you. I had a friend who was litterly being abused on the internet. Actually, it was her daughter. They took her off for about 4 months. Sorry for your daughter as well.

I must say, Dean, you picked some dandy artwork for this poetry. LOL..And the poem itself is very much in tune with the human condition. Bravo, my friend. Bob

    Heh, thanks, Mastery. The hardest part was coordinating the drip, to the sound. That took some doing!

    I appreciate and value your opinion very much, my Masterful friend!
