Empty Pantries
by Gypsy Blue Rose
If You Would Like To Join the Japanese Poetry Club, please check my author notes
Most children are loved
but many of them are hurt in homes veiled in black amidst the screaming parents and empty pantries. Kids go to bed without food or bedtime stories, mom and dad's pipes and needles littered around dirty floors.  |
CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION HOTLINE = 1-800-422-4453 Call the 24-hour toll-free number for confidential assistance with professional crisis counselors.
At least 1 in 7 children have experienced child abuse or neglect in the past year in the United States. This is likely an underestimate because many cases are unreported.
CHOKA It's a Japanese court poetic form of the 6th to 14th century consisting of nine lines in a 5/7/ 5/7/5/7/5/7/7 syllables pattern and may be repeated. Originally, CHOKA was written in 100 sets. It was composed mainly to commemorate life events. for examples and more information from the Poets Collective CLICK HERE === description
