What a heartfelt poem this was indeed very well written and expressed, though your notes state this is a fictional story you weaved a bit of soul into it making the reader feel the pain, thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest..

This is a story very well told in a poem. Although it is a non fiction, but you can relate to the story as you see it happenings quite often. The pain and suffering of being molested is very well described by the author.

Brilliant writing and emotion within this piece.
You connect quickly with the reader and pull them in to your poem/story.
Great imagery and powerful survivor skills as fiction you penned the act well,the emotion, the pain and despair.
Her release well earned taking part of her soul...

Powerful and demands the surrender of me when reading....and memories flood what I thought I had left behind.

Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest.
Maureen


Most powerful to me:

"Sarah looks into her daughter`s eyes, grieving all she`s lost.
Knowing she`ll protect her innocence, in spite of all the cost." // Exactly what I did with my own children, protect and love.

    Hi Maureen...I am honored by your review...I must tell you that I have read many of your works and they are incredible...brilliant in fact...the way in which you use your words and, in fact the words themselves remind me of a famous prose writer named Elizabeth Smart...I don`t know if you have ever read ``By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept`` but your writing is just as incredible as hers is. I am so sorry that you experienced what you did...and you are a hero for standing up and protecting your chidren...blessings to you and yours always.

Well, this was certainly an interesting topic to choose to write about. Very emotional and a good contest entry. You've stayed consistent to the pattern of the rhyme and the rhythm works. You should do well in the contest. Good work!

Well this is certainly a vivid and well worded poem. I have to admit this is not my normal reading and I think It would have done better in a short story form but I think overall you did a great job.

This is a terribly sad but all too familiar story. Young girls are being abused everyday, but the saddest thing of all is that it's by their own fathers. The story was heartfelf and touching and should fair well in the contest. PP

Wow, well told story!

This a very attention-grabbing story told in verse. The end-rhymes help to move the story along at a smooth and easy pace while the the details heighten the intensity of the narrative.

Great job.

fiction it might be, but the
sad truth of it is the abuse
does go on and often the innocent
children suffer for the rest
of their lives.

Albeit such a heart-breaking story, you've made an excellent job of telling it in a poem, keeping the
rhythm and rhyme flowing well, and it deserves a six.

Hard to believe (it only being Tues) but my sixes went
like wild-fire and already are used up, and yet there's times I'm often left with one or two. Sorry, but someone is sure to give you one.

Margaret

Incredible read. As a psych nurse I have seen these faces of abuse who harbor secrets too devastating for them to let go. I did not really feel that this was a story of sexual intent. Abuse is about control that is acted out in a sexual way. Very well done with an ending of hope.
