I'm drawn to real life things. Abuse is real and I feel is piece. My attention is capture from the title and it captured even more as I read on. The rhyming is good. The flow and harmony is good but the message is the best. When we leave this world we will hurt no more, Amen. Good job.

Very well written poem on the subject of child abuse, and the hope of peace in a heavenly place after so much suffering in a young life. I liked the plain presentation, and thought the flow and rhyming quite good.

Your poem presents a vivid picture of abuse. Most of the rhyme works; the rhythm is a little irratic.

Title: Heavens (Heaven's) Door

Heavens (Heaven's) Door

Bruise on cheek from hands (hand's) hard blow

Injuries to (too) deep to hide

Self(-)esteem is but a word
To (Too) late to save
To (Too) late to pray

Once she enters
Heavens (Heaven's) door.

Beautiful poem. It reads lyrically. Too much of this abuse and cruelty in our world, but you've left me with a much more pleasant image in my mind of the gentle spirits soothing and erasing prior sadness. Good job with this writing.

In the CSI stanza, it should be "too" late, on both occasions. Forgive me for not awarding this any more points, but the facile narrative is rather well-worn.

    Thank you for your honesty. I agree it is a well worn subject but unfortunately will never be resolved. The news of late has troubled me so I was prompted to write. I appreciate the edits and will fix them. :-) Best to you always, Carolyn

Hi Carolyn, this is a deeply troubling poem to read due to the abuse received but I liked the last few lines where you let us know all the pains in his world are not remembered once past heavens door.
Well penned and thought provoking too:)
Thanks for sharing it.

    Thanks for the review, it was troubling to write, the news carries the death of a little one far to often. there can only be one blessing of the loss of a young life. Thats eternity with joy forever. Have a wonderful day. Carolyn
