This is probably one of your most powerful pieces yet. Sorry for my long waits in responding/commenting on your other pieces, they are on my tab bar and when I have the time to devote to them I will give you a proper response deserving of your literary genius. As for this piece, it was so powerful I had to talk about it the moment I read it.
I think it's correct to say, grammatically at least, that I feel nauseated. I knew from the movies and news that some men can act in such a brazen manner, yet I tried to block it out of my mind, the thought of it too much to bear. I think I'm going to be sick, but don't think this a negative response to your piece, my response is, I think, fitting to his crimes. That any man would think/act/dare to behave like that is beyond my comprehension, but you have (so very) successfully highlighted the root issue that causes such distress in society, a chauvinistic attitude which sickens any and all who encounter it! Thank you, dear Shanna, thank you for that ending, it worked to satisfy some small part of the inner rage you have helped let loose in your reader, again demonstrating how skillful a poet you are! I do hope you win this contest, few pieces, in my imagination, could conjure such realistic terror in a reader, and had the poem finished at the end of his inner-soliloquy, these tears of anger and helplessness would not have been quenched so easily, so once again I say thank you! You'll notice, dear Shanna, I ramble, but it is beyond my ability to form a coherent analysis of this text when you already have me so emotionally involved... I just pray that men who would otherwise act like this read your poem, and that this may offer to them a looking glass into their own lives that might shame them into not going on to commit such atrocities, well, one can hope...

Once again, excellent workmanship on this piece, your poetical flare will have you fly high, like dear Lucy... you'd better not forget your diamonds ;) :heart:
