Ferocious

The blood- so much of it upon the floor of that small cell - was all that remained of fury in a prison hell. The guards could find no weapons, for what they'd missed was this: the slaughter had been wrought simply by a female inmate's fists. For the Poem that time forgot 2 Poetry Contest of silent one

wow. thats pretty scary. i hear that women in prison are more violent than men in their prison. but i don't believe it. i think it would be the same. by the way, the fact that i am a younger poet, doing limericks, i might have a different sense of humor at times, and they will be mostly, a bit "too" nasty.lol so i think i should work on another form for now, like a drama monologue. thanks for the advice. have a wonderful night.(: -Always&Forever Lynette

creative to write something after watching something... liked it a bunch... it's raw... you did good at absorbing it then letting us see it through your words

tough subject, such rage. How do some people get that way? I would guess that they have been mistreated at some time.

You're right. The prison system is very scary. I pray none of us have to experience it. It's so sad how much rage some people have bottled up inside them. Great write. Thanks for sharing.

The title is so appropriate,Andrea. To be that filled with rage can only make wonder what has happened in their life. Powerful writing. Yes! I have 3 novels in various stages of disarray, but I wish to complete 'A journey of Roses and Thorns' first. I think it is a necessary step in allowing me to complete the others. Love, Lainie

Andrea, this is scary and I imagine that in prison it's too a fight for survival just like it is on the streets. Especially if you get involved with the wrong group of people. This sent chills through my spine. Excellelnt write my friend. It is very thought provoking......Love Light Patty

This is pretty chilling, Andrea--didn't expect that ending, but I guess anything can really happen in real life, especially when strong emotions are involved...your write definitely showed the harsh reality in prisons...thanks for sharing this...
