Haiku: Kiss Of a Feather

i read this... and it got me. ive seen so many stories on child abuse. it sad and painful that someone would cause any pain physically and mentally to the most precious gift god gives us. i have two kids and the thought of anyone hurting my girls runs the blood in my viens.

We can become too complacent in our lives, running and jumping for joy at rainbows, the real gritty truth that such terror exists comes through the papers and news, we try to do our part, helping charities etc. but without much help to those far away. I am so glad of my own upbringing and value it as full of love and understanding, but one's heart goes out to those that have difficult lives, be they young, or old. I am glad that per capita Norway is a generous land to those in need. Yours Ann

A torment of a cowardly self hating person. Intersting, straight foreward, and to the point. I applaude you.

...for the victims, however...I see no point in having them relive it! How many of these in a lifetime can we all bear? Especially when all that we do is, write. I truly am, so sorry for this child...but, it's becoming a pattern. Give it a rest. Yours truly, #{:>{}@=== docmaverick.

this poem could save a life. One small suggestion. This sort of pain can never be soothed away altogether, perhaps Love like a feather Flutter(s) in the summer breeze Soothes some of the pain cheers, Jess

It's interesting to see how people interpret this from their own points of view. It can be interpreted in so many different ways, from so many different viewpoints, and that I think is the mark of a good write on a subject like this.
