Re: STOLEN INNOCENCE
Good use of the prompts Trisha - coming from left field as well - a different approach. Well done

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Re: STOLEN INNOCENCE
I agree Trish; a very different approach - both clever and chilling
Re: STOLEN INNOCENCE
Thanks Maureen & Catherine.
Not a nice topic, but sadly, a reality of what does happen far too often.

Re: STOLEN INNOCENCE
Excellent poem, Trisha! Yes, you are right - it happens too often.
I like the way you've used enjambment for "hideous probes" - a clever way to get around tricky syllables!
Cheers, Shelley

Re: STOLEN INNOCENCE
Thanks Shelley. Enjambment does often help with some of the prompts, especially when trying to keep the metre flowing.
