For a single line poem you said quite a bit here. Even though your description is actually longer than the poem, the explanation is unnecessary. Great job.

This one line poem speaks so meaningfully how the innocence in the person is cut short by the act of social crime rape; well said, well done. Keep Writing -- DR ALCREATOR

Ugh, I hate that this is a reality, but sadly it is. Your one line poem is so short, yet so succinct and realistically sound. I am so sorry to say this is a real life tragedy. Excellent photo and content is very profound. Good luck in the contest.

Your words give a voice to those who are violated. Your poem shows how their futures are changed by an act of violence. Excellent one word poem and I wish you well in the contest.

K, this is a one line poem that has a strong statement. It sickens me that depravity still continues the world over and always the innocent child suffers.
A sweet picture for an ultra sour subject. Best of luck in the competition. ~DD

    I needed to get it out there. Some Americans didn't know our aboriginal children were being abused. Head under bed? It's a world wide disgusting mess. XXK.

    Unfortunately, some Americans do not know we have aboriginal people as our indigenous race.

    This is why they wield a gun in their own country perhaps....

This is a gorgeous one line poem, K. Sadly in power structures the anger is what trickles down and the most vulnerable in our society pay the price. I very much enjoy the artwork you've found to accompany this most important social commentary.

I wish you much luck in the contest with this gem. :)

    I needed to get our message out there. Aboriginal children are used and abused. A world wide disgrace isn't it? XXK.

Your poem captures the devastation of this child's life (really these childrens' lives) and says it so simply in this one line poem. I really really liked this! The turn in tone midway through the line is terrific. The rhythm and flow of it is terrific! I like the internal rhyme of "ahead" and "instead" - I'm a fan of non-traditional rhyming and the sound of things. The picture is terrific! Very well done! Excellent entry into this contest!

    Kia Ora Jenny, The one liner was about the rape of a young GIRL. They are so vunerable. Thanks my friend XXK.

This is a very well written One Line poem you have penned for the contest. You used very good words with very good imagery from the art work. That is so very sad, but true. Best wishes in the contest. Blessings, Teri
