Nameless, Nightmare, Neglect Words Sponsored by: Constance La France written 11/20/2023

“Your body is yours; it is not for someone to abuse and leave you in fear.” Quote by poet A look of confusion and helplessness Frenetic worry filled with fearfulness. Terrifying mute screams echo impart, Tears unbidden, wraith being ripped apart. Disconcerting, hoarsely pleading to stop, But unrestrained fleshly lust, pleas unstop. In the dark; once again, cold patches drew Fear of emotion penetrated through. Clench fist and crippling affliction raged airs Nauseate image brought vivid nightmare.

such a powerful poem that paints an accurate picture of domestic abuse. Domestic abuse is about power at the expense of another's physical and emotional well being. I can't fathom anything more horrible. My heart aches for anyone who is seemingly trapped and helpless. Well done, Eve. have a great evening, Sara

Sounds like someone in an abusive marriage. Rather than live in fear it's better to end that relationship any way you can, get a divorce and a restraining order and start a new life. Great emotion here. Good job. God Bless, JB

When freedom intruded upon, when pleasure comes as someone’s nightmare, “hoarsely pleading to stop” - nauseating, crippling. Well done, Eve. May these horrific things come to an end…evil eradicated. Hugs ~ Kim

What a haunting write this is eve, i can imagine yes how one in such a situation would feel, hits hard for me and its even more impressive that youv actually written about such a soul stirring subject using syllables and rhymes in the form of a sonnet. This definitely is one of my most fave poems by you. I felt this one and that quote is so true. And fitting. Goodluck for the contest im sure it will do very well
