Notes About The Poem

- Innocent Victim -


  Hungry morning dew
  perpetual heavy haze
  icy embrace
  blood red rubies
  another victim
  in a dark alley
  beaten with chains
  Bruises
  Pulverizes the earthlings existence
  without hesitation
  A beast in human form
  crouched as a wildcat

Anne-Lise, I'm reading this and thinking how similar our thought process may be. We do have a problem with beasts and it strikes us as cruel. You are very perceptive and talented. Smiles!!

As others have said, a dark and disturbing Poem. Your imagery is quite graphic. Well, written. Anne-lise.

Some humans don't deserve to be called that, those inflicting violence on others. Tom
