In Silence She Suffers

This is horribly sad and happens far more than most people realize because the battered woman is often afraid to speak up. This is a heartbreaking poem but I respect the realistic nature of it. Nice job.

What a stark introductory poem, my friend. Excellent poem to bring such brutality to light, I truly applaud your courage.  Welcome and very best wishes, Mary Ann

thank you SO much maryann - I'm very much looking forward to reading some great poetry and hopefully making some good friends as well.

I hope this poem is just a product of your imagination and not happening to you in real life; although it is true to others. Cleverly written showing vivid pictures of abuse.

Definitely just a product of my imagination.  I really do appreciate your taking time to read and comment.  I love the challenge of working with the smaller forms - and am so glad you liked this one.  I've very new to the site, and am looking forward to reading yours and the work of others - there is so much I feel I can learn.  Once again, thanks!

You're always welcome Sandy...by the way I have a poem with your name as a title.

I will definitely check it out!  :-)

Well written with a very real feel to it. It made me shudder as my father was a wife beater!

Thank you for reading and understanding what I was trying to say.  Really appreciate your kind words.

Thanks so much for taking time to read and comment.  I agree with you - those cowards (because I feel that's what they are) who must prove something by inflicting pain (either physical or emotional) will get their payback one day.  Again, thanks so much.
