Excellent entry for the 10 Word Poem writing prompt contest. Good word count and choices. The poem flows nicely.

I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize. .

Goodluck

I get this, and feel it's a powerful message. One suggestion, I would put the comma after laugh and delete the comma after rage. Also, if you choose to make the corrections I have suggested "Through " should not be capitalized

This is a good entry into the 10 words contest. The text is a great size. The message is clearly stated and easy to understand. It is a thought-provoking message. It implies some type of abusive interaction. The visual fits well. Good luck in the contest.

You managed to mention fear, rage, and sadness in such a few words. This is a testament of the complexity of emotions. So many exist in our blind spot awaiting an empathetic other to provide some insights.

Being in fear of someone else's rage is intimidating and called bullying in my book, your descriptions remind me of some situations I have been in during the past, a fearful post, love Dolly x

That's powerful.... that's a very bold poem. It was also very well done it strikes a cord yes it does. Sounds like someone was betrayed that kind of rage is a tough one. People have said to me if you want to write about what you know and perhaps this is something that you know. If so I hope it dissipates and your tears dry.
You've complied with the contest rules and you've supplied a most excellent poem!
If you don't mind I'd like to suggest one small thing remove the, in your last line don't. Think you need it. Only a suggestion of course when you're promised great as it is good luck in the contest!

Your utilisation of a capital E for eyes draws my attention immediately to the intense and evil stare of the accompanying illustration. A truly compelling ten word poem that suggests so much than that which is written. Great work. Jacqueline
