bulletproof.cupid chapter 1 . 3/1/2006 beautiful. i have nothing negative to say and even if i did, you have a heartfelt intention behind it. i really do hope it stops. it's nothing to be taken lightly. it's like theft, but in a crueler, more harsh way. beautiful work, especially the repetition. "That you sweetie,It was worth while."- i think you meant thank you? goodwork, hun, especially the awareness - even if it's a very tiny, tiny step. ~bubbl3gum |
1234567890 chapter 1 . 1/19/2006 very nice poem. so powerful |
Phillipea chapter 1 . 1/4/2006 Sickening, but then again, the whole topic is sickening. But you are definitely a very good poet. And as to the 12 year old rape/no abortion topic: although it is definitely cruel, harsh and mentally scarring to a child. Is it fair to the baby growing inside of her womb? To hae it's organs sucked into a vacum and spit out into a garbage? Trust me, I know several rape victims who had an abortion. The guilt after having an abortion is far worse than the guilt and horror after getting raped. |
redsage chapter 1 . 2/7/2005 this poem.. so true.. i symphatize with it.. i am a girl.. even though it hadn't happened to me (i pray not), still it gives a feeling of being ruined. |
Mlle. Daae chapter 1 . 1/27/2005 I (thankfully) cannot realte to this poem, but all the same, I found it beautiful and moving - it really touched my heart. Thank you very much for writing such an amazing piece of work, I hope to read more of your writing in the future.~Mlle. Daae |
StoryGuideFairy chapter 1 . 10/14/2004 Hrm...you have good writing skills. But on subject matter this poem is mediocre at best. Why must it always be the girl that is raped by the man? "But Him"- the title of the poem implies that it is always men that rape girls. Which is very far from the truth. I know you meant for THIS particular poem to deal with THIS particular incident...but one cannot deny that there are female rapists out there as well. About abortion: I agree that abortion is acceptable in some cases. But your arguments are of the mother- why not think of the baby for once? Of course, in the case where the mother's life in danger if she has a baby- it's a painful choice between the mother's life and the child's life. But just because a child is a child ocf violence .. "Calendae" is angsty but narrow-minded. |

blackeyes chapter 1 . 4/29/2004 beautiful... simply beautiful! i agree with u on the abortions... it is not fair to have a child when u are neither ready 4 nor have the necessities to supply it...and yet have to go thru the trauma on being raped... and the baby is not alive when its 1 or 2 months old! its a embryo!~ |
beautifuletdown chapter 1 . 3/19/2004 Understated but powerful. Clearly conveys the message, without being too blunt. Very impressive. |
Silver Eyes Bright chapter 1 . 12/16/2003 I know I have no experience (THANK GOD!) in what this is about, but I know this, no one should kill an unborn baby, or a born one. Sure if a person was made pregnant by someone they didn't know it would make you feel absolutely horrible! But the baby didn't choose for it's "father" to do that to their mother so why punish it for something it couldn't control. It's like punishing someone for an act they didn't commit and had no control over! I'm sorry, I just had to get that point across. The poem was touching, filled with emotion. |
htmraw chapter 1 . 12/9/2003 It was powerful beyond the topic. Everyone takes anything about rape seriously, but you should be proud of this one in it's own right. |
Jillian chapter 1 . 11/24/2003 Oh my God. . . . . This just . . . .stuns me. It's well written, yes. Stunning. Dark, though. Very dark. . . . |
