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

I agree Trish; a very different approach - both clever and chilling

Thanks Maureen & Catherine.
Not a nice topic, but sadly, a reality of what does happen far too often.

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

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