You poem is hard hitting an alive ddrawing attention to abuse. I ready it with emphathy .
child abuse is horrific and even when your family are totally aware of it they they tuen a blind eye.
As though they feel it's your turn just deal with it. Child abuse is compounded by the actions of those who KNOW but but do nothing. Petal

Hi new Friend,BWD,
First of all I am very impressed with your accomplishments.
Congratulations FOR YOUR BLESSED GOD GIVEN TALENT!

IT IS BEYOND SAD WHAT SATAN DOES TO LITTLE CHILDREN through MOM'S & DADS & OTHERS.

In my mind, the greatest child abuse (actually Baby abuse)
is killing babies before they are born. The world system calls it Abortion, God calls it murder.

So sad a tale in this wonderfully rhymed words. All to often this happens and no one seems to notice, or care. Some very good writing, and the fact that it originally only got two votes reflects the system on Fan and not your writing.

    That is why I said if you believe in your writing enough put it out there and let the Writers on this site prove its worth. Appreciate your comments.

This is truly great. You painted a complete picture story with words. Your next writing could show the trial of the son winning over the town.
Outstanding! Thank you!

    Thanks for the suggestion. I may just have to do that.

Your poem tells an awful story. Good job with the rhyme and flow of lines. Good use of occasional alliteration.

Good job of "sticking to your guns."

One thing that I would have done differently though is copy and past the poem without the contest references at the bottom. I was looking for the "I remember when" line. I thought a poem could not be posted twice.

Your topic is all to pervasive in society today. You did a good job with a tough subject.

I see nothing to change.

Such a sad poem but it is an all to true story that happens to many times in this world. I did not find any problems with your style. I also did not find any spag. Good job.

A very gut wrenching poem you've written. Just don't understand how certain people can be so incredibly evil and mean--and to their own. Can't blame the kid for plugging the man--he had it comin'. Well done.

Does autobiographical preclude fiction or hearsay? I expected prose. Cops dread domestic disturbance calls. Bad things happen in families. I think your rhyming story rates five.

Hi, Bmwhsd...

One never knows how a work will be received. The contests can be brutal sometimes too.

Abuse is an ugly and growing problem. You depict it well. The snake gives me the heebie-jeebeis though. (*<*)

Cheers & Blessings
Keep Smilin'.... Jax (*:*)

Yes child abuse does happen more than we can be allowed to know. This is a wonderfully written poem about just how bad it can be, to the point that shooting the snake seems the only option.
