A well written poem. The special effects of the blood dripping, the pictures and the sound of blood dripping adds to this poem. Your message is clear in this poem and it does leave a lasting impression.

succinctly penned and worthy of notice

a message for all ages..... psychological damage from carelessly spoken or viciously spewed words all to often leave gaping wounds and festering scars.
At least with a surgeon there's a reason...and a procedure for healing.

Well written

    Thank you Leinco, and you are right. A bully had no reason other to hurt deeply.

    I appreciate your insights and review...

Hi Dean,

This is a great poem written for your daughter. It's a shame how some people treat others. I liked the picture you chose to use. How true that we're all connected to a human heart and soul.

Blessings, Kat

I am so sorry to hear that. Social media is everything to kids. Just consider how we grownups have hurt feelings and misunderstandings here on FS. I'm sure, with your sensitivity as an artist, you found words to comfort her. Lou

    I did my best, Lou, but she reached many of her conclusions for this incident on her own, Be careful who you place your trust in, and choose your friends very wisely.
    Thanks so much, again...

Yes, so true. This is a very powerful little piece, what with the words and the heart and the blood and the dripping sounds effects. I hope someone, somewhere, might take it to heart and act with more consideration for others. As a father I'd say you've shown great restraint.

    Thanks very much. I have tried, Cornelius. I thought I'd try to put a positive spin on the whole situation, and bring such bullying out of the dark corners where it's often found lurking, and into the light where it belongs. Thanks so much again for your insights.

It is best to remember we are dealing with people from all walks of life. There are even mentally ill people on the internet. Words are powerful and can rip your world apart but one must consider the source. Sorry for you daughter's pain. Nancy

I have to say I think you have given us a message that needs to be played in each and every school in this country. We are so lazy about the discipline for this sort of thing I just don't know. I think awareness is beginning to make a difference and maybe schools are getting better, but parents all to often are as bad as the kids are. The kids are watching us after all. Thanks for this reminder.

    Thank you, emjaihammond, and you're absolutely right. This topic needs to be discussed far more often than it is now.
    Thanks for your kind review...

I read your notes. Yes, thanks to modern devices, bullies have more methods of hurting others than they once had. You have made effective use of every syllable.

I am not a fan of 5-7-5 poems, but this one grips me. It tells a powerful story. Your presentation is unparalled it eats into the core of the heart. What you say is so true words indeed can cut deep wounds.

    Thank you seren james, and the fact that a lot of people don't enjoy this type of poetry is precisely why I put a little bit more thought into its production. I wanted it to appeal to everyone, because it is, I feel, a very important topic of discussion. I am very happy you liked this one...

Oh dear. You cut real deep with this one Dean. It's true, words can cause a lot of damage to one's psych, especially when we pour our heart out and someone tramples it to pieces. Great pictures--get the message across in a sanguinary way. I had to remove the supergirl picture as it was lopsiding the profile page--but not to worry, I have stored it in my treasure chest and will guard it forever.
