well I guess this one was to good to win hey. I would take that as a compliment ;) Brilliantly written once again. Edgy, dark stuff, too much so for the 'average' fanstorian. So good not to be average innit? lol, best Indie

excellent alliterative title and dramatic illustration
powerful use of high-impact verbs like gouge and bare add to the dramatic intensity of this scene
excellent pure/cure rhyme
and more good alliteration in your closing stanzas
A solid poem about a most tragic topic Brooke

The emotion that this poem radiates is very well done and you can feel the author's intensity as the voice, which is strong and direct, unravels the poem. Your use of alliteration is also well done and really, with is sparsity, was used to enhance the parts of this poem that you want to emphasize. Well done.

Powerful poem, powerful message. Brave to post. I understand the victim in this poem. I wish I didn't but I do. There is no way to get over something like this, but a good friend once told me, you can get through it. But it does forever change you.

Who can suffer more than a child filled with trust who is violated by a friend, brother, father, uncle or trusted neighbor, maybe even a teacher or a priest.

They go through life with nightmares and lose faith that any people are good. How well your poem depicts the misery that Paedophile's create for sick pleasure.

People who molest children should immediately be put to death. FOr that reason, I believe in the death penalty. Your poem gives a very graphic picture of abuse and it's results. Excellent contest entry. Best of luck.

I love the picture. I love the poem. I like the way you brought out the trust was betrayed. A child molester is worse that a rapist. He relies on the child's trust to help him do his dirty work. Great work.

The picture is as scary and sad as the words. This is the worst thing to happen to a child for it changes the child's view on what love is and means.

The form works well with limited rhyme and nice use of alliteration.

The girl seems to not want to see or hear what is going on and tries to hide.

Good luck and keep writing

Well you certainly fulfilled the requirements of this prompt - human suffering - portrayed graphically, but concentrating on the permanent damage. Good write!
