I agree with Andrea very nicely done. Your poet's notes really drive the severity of the problem home. Again nicely done Jan.

very nicely done, Jan. Is it for the current abuse contest? You have to go back to my new poem. I don't think you had the pleasure to view the LOVELY pictures I put with it.

Unfortunately it's a sad truth - and important to recognise that it impacts both men and women... well-penned, Jan. Regards, John.
