A definitive frisson of horror/fear effectively evoked here with simply the sound of 'steps in the hallway'- together with such a striking visual to illustrate

Howdy Gypsy;
-Believing that the The 3rd line is "daddy's little girl" implies that Daddy is not a very good man After having the first 2 lines grammatically connected and also implying that he is the one walking In the hallway and frightening the little girl. Great suspenseful introduction.
-The picture is well formulated with the surrounding print and works really well with the whole enjambment of the composition.
-An excellent Senryu capturing the suspense of abuse that is usually The case in which children are frightened.
-Thanks for sharing and take care and have a good one my friend.
Alex

Whoa, Gypsy! This sounds just like PTSD in this woman I used to befriend. She couldn't handle loud noises because she would think it was her father coming to hurt her -- he's a pig who is still alive now afraid to die because of his former beliefs. He was a Catholic, but now facing (in his former belief) eternal hell for his sexual abuse of his daughter. Only God knows...but he won't get away with it. He did here because no one intervened. Wish I was an adult then!

Beautiful, and oh, so, innocent. Until she's kidnapped and found mutilated. Pieces hidden, scattered all over the park. Yuck, I'm can't even believe I made those remarks. It's just what came to mind when I read your poem. I guess, we all scare ourselves sometimes with what lies festering within our minds. Great job! :-)

A most apt and sombre post, Gypsy. So much can be taken from this, and all of scary.

This is sadly the reality for too many wee ones.

Great job my friend,

Gloria

Hey Gypsy. Good grief you have a mean right hook! This is as horrifying as it is fantastic! That third line is the one that always slays me! Good luck. xoxo Kiwi

You write mainly Haiku and Senryu.
Ever write straight poetry?
That picture, id that really You?
Quite impressive.
And all your work is rated and awarded.
Is it from pumps from reviews or your followers?
