If Theodore McDowell, who writes such jarring free verse here, about his abusive father... Wrote a Tanka... My God! It would feel just like this!
I hope he reads this!
Wow!

Thank you, karenina, not too many people are reviewing this poem, even with a certificate. I think it's too scary or not fun for some...I get it. But I got a review from a Survivor of domestic abuse thank me for bringing it to the light. I know what you mean abought Theodore. He's a brave soul.

How odd. It's not something people should divert their gaze from!
Comment from Regina Elliott
As a former victim of parental
physical and mental abuse,
I applaud your very stirring
tanka, Gypsy Blue Rose. This
is so well penned. It speaks
much volume and caring.
Many blessings to you. ~

That visible clenched fist is how society has descended into, it's the worst thing in our society that manifests it's ugly head. I hate violence and always have, it has never solved anything and never will, particularly with children, it only proliferates, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Most welcome

Is "number zero" a person or the number of witnesses? I didn't understand that line. I am glad you bring to light the serious damage on young ones' hearts that domestic violence causes.

I explained about the number zero in my author notes but maybe I should add it in the dedication line? I know we don't always read author notes. My friend, at 3 years old, was a mascot of his father's football team. His number was zero. It's very sad.
Thank you for your continuous support and kind reviews, I am grateful for you.

Oh, sorry! I scanned the notes and saw only the hotline. When there are so many notes, people may not know where to focus. Maybe add some **** around the important part? Or just delete the haiku information for this one only.
