Taking a gift not meant
for his Christmas.
Engaging in crime and punishment,
can't you hear her scream?
Pounding force of selfishness,
robbing blind - her innocence;
Laid out, unspoken
on the night's canvas;
Broken and forever changed.

"can't you hear her scream"
Genius. I love how you asked that question. You could have said, "she is screaming" or "she screams" but when you ask it, it makes it more personal. Good work

a really nice piece, but I am closing this contest for lack of entries

OMG!
This poem is deep and touches places in me that I would have soon forgotten, but it is written very well. Rape is never an easy issue to deal with let alone write about it tactfully. You did a fantastic job with tact. ~mandie~ -
Well damn if my heart didn't stop reading this!
Painfully sharp and vividly painted, this brought back some bad memories but I appreicate the poetry this is
Best of luck

Stay safe
