Excellent entry for the. Write A Senryu writing prompt contest.
Verbal abuse can hurt as much as physical.
Good syllables count and connection between lines with great presentation and imagery. It flows well with descriptive words that paint a clear mental picture.

This poem gives a clear picture of the emotional pain verbal abuse causes. The author's words are clear, hurtful, abusive, descriptive, sad and creative. The last line is the best definition I've heard of verbal abuse.
The poem flows and connects well. The artwork goes well with this poem.

Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
Your poem says a lot in three lines. I love how precise your message is in this succinct piece of writing. I like short poems that are centered on a page as if demanding to be seen. Putting the letters in bold is good too. I think your title gives away your poem and is too pedestrian. Perhaps something like "Cutting Words" or "Sharp Syllables" would suit better. Your graphic fits the text perfectly. I wish you luck in the contest.

Hi there. Well done on developing a meaningful verse with such strict constraints. Your choice of artwork is spot on and helps the poem have even more depth. Good luck.

Comment from Wendy G
Well said, and an excellent topic for the Senryu. You have captured exactly the pain of verbal abuse, and also its invisibility. "I was just joking/just trying to be funny/ you're too sensitive" are the usual cop-outs. Well written, and sending best wishes.

Comment from WriterHeather
Verbal abuse is so hurtful and it is not talked about enough. It leaves real scars even if you can't see them. Thank you for writing about this important subject

This was a great senryu. I have seen people abused in this way. It is not pleasant. Thank you so much for sharing this here, and best wishes to you.

Comment from Eunice Amero
Oh dear me. That is so a shame. What business does a man have to pound his woman? My ex did me and I was too stubborn to show him I was scared. He was taking me down in the woods and he said I have a gun in this box that cars have between people and I said oh yeah. He said I'm going to kill you. I said go ahead I'll go to Heaven. When we got there he opened the box and said I have no gun. He said I can't scare you. I said nope. He nearly hurt my back by throwing me up against the table and life left my legs for a little while. He was jealous of me. But you have a good poem and the picture matches it. Good work,

Comment from Fleedleflump
Verbal and psychological abuse can be absolutely debilitating - especially if it builds up pervasively over time. I think some abusers don't even realise they're doing it because it slowly becomes normal and then feels permissable. It's not, of course, but it makes it steadily harder to confront, for both parties.
Excellent poem.
