There is a special place in Hell for those that hurt such innocent blessings in this life.
You captured the human suffering very well in this piece for sure.

Thanks for your words of congratulations, jackarrie. You chose a subject that focuses on a real human tragedy. The girl is a victim of rape and only a teenager. We can only hope that their is help available for this young person so she doesn't have to suffer a lifetime. It is especially horrible when the rapist might be a family member. Your wording shows the impact that this rape would have on the teenager. "Snatched from the playground" is excellent expression. Great work. judi

Thanks Judi, I appreciate your review, I am confused by the committee allowing some people through to the contest when they do not follow the rules. I was disqualified and rightly so for a wrong Tyburn Mary

I haven't checked out the Tyburn contest yet, so I don't know what went on there. I sometimes wonder about the committee's decisions. You're very welcome. Write on! judi

To be honest, I know a child born of such an event. She tried to be a normal kid, but life and poor choices has left her a victim as well.

Great subject choice, and a sensitive but powerful poem.
Good luck in the contest,
Rhonda

What a sad, sad story. There are many perverts running around. Even babies are being subjected to sexual horrors. What is this world coming to?

Best wishes as you write and share!
