Very good. especially now that I understand how it came about, but are you sure the husband and wife killed each other. Was the family named Menendez by any chance?

This is a GREAT write.
The artwork speaks a thousand words. The image shown is a perfect match for this poem. The font color goes well with the background.
I look forward to reading more.
Thanks for sharing.
Good luck with your future writing.

Excellently worded poem, of abuse, murder, loss and gain, sometimes children are better off without some parents. And these fin words display in very strong, descriptive imagery the ultimate story of a protective and sacrificial mother, pinnacle of love's expression, beautifully written Gypsy. Well done, blessings, Roy

Hi Gypsy, Now may I ask who put in the last death haiku. To me it sounds like the end of yours and Hitcher's linked haiku
