This is an interesting spiritual poem. Although it is not written about an actual person, it is a reality for so many like her in the world. I enjoyed reading your poem and it flows well. Your artwork choice really enhances your poem.

This is really very good! And yet also very sad, But one thing is for sure is what we see through our eyes we feel with our hearts. Very touching, Stephy

Comment from Melspoems
This is an interesting poem.
Full of imagery,
"bruised and beaten baby" great alliteration and very intense line.
"now decaying with worms in the terrible terrain" another good line for imagery and alliteration.

Comment from Herb
I thought this very visual and very real. The repetition worked well and created impact. Never heard of a 'Ekprhastic' before (neither has word0 so I also learned something which is always good.

Comment from Speedpause
Wow. When I kept seeing this listed, just the name alone made me not want to read it. I'm not really sure why. But then I felt like I had to, and it's such a sad story within a poem. I can't say I enjoyed the concept, because it was sad, but I enjoyed your writing. Keep up the good work.

Comment from dbmccarter
A very vivid and disturbing poem. I liked that you gave the information in the notes. It was interesting. The repetition of "Old decrepit woman" was effective.

Comment from Connie C
Such powerful imagery you have here that it was almost painful
to read about this "old decrepit woman" and what she has to
endure, a snake pit, her possessions stolen, decaying with worms.
Your author's notes were interesting and helped me through a
second reading. I'm glad this isn't about an actual person. Great
picture--so much wisdom in her face. Connie
