This acrostic poem, WHEN I SAID NO, follows the first-letter theme and brings an uplifting tale that finds the damaged and abused receiving some justice. Rare and always good to hear about.

Excellent entry for the

Excellent entry for the Rhyming Poem contest.

Good Acrostic form. The rhyme is pretty good too. You used descriptive words that paint a clear mental picture.

Child abuse is a hideous crime that affect victims all their lives...good topic.

Good luck in the contest.

Good for her! It's time for young ones to speak out for themselves and preserve their dignity and their future. I'm glad she shared her experience with you - and you shared it with us in poetic form. Thank you!

Your skillfully written rhyming acrostic conveys a powerful message about the power the word "NO" should wield; sometimes it just takes a while for people to HEAR it!

When some one says NO! It should be heard but people turn a deaf ear.Because all a man thinks he hears is yes.Lust takes over and her raps for the thrill and release of his excitement. The oredeters keep on till they get caught.

kahpot,
You have written a very clever acrostic verse with a powerful message I think we all need to hear. It conveys a feeling of great strength and courage to stand firm and say, 'NO', especially when no-one listens or supports your truth.

Welcome back, Kahpot!!

Great poem that shows us that a child/young girl was able to say, NO. And stand up against those who could take advantage of her. Great rhymes! Best wishes in the contest!

Question:
I bared that shame, in words of tears (Did you mean the 'bare' -to reveal? Or "bore" to bear that shame?)

    Ah, then it's perfect. Just checked because it could have gone either way and those verbs are similar!
