Life conceived in womb
Should be one of growth and joy
Not a baby's tomb

a good one for the abortion issue, Robert. I just want to thank you again for appreciating the work I put into that betrayal story. Though I'm not using it in the contest, that is beside the point. I LOVE how these contests simply inspire us to WRITE!! dont you?? (too bad we ddin't even really know about videos in the 60's so I could have got a tape of my mom clapping. hahaha)

If everyone realized the simplicity of truth in these three short lines, there would be no abortion. Well done my friend. Mac

If more people read things like this, I think it'd be more difficult to agree with abortion rights... This just leaves you with a deep dark, somber feeling... and I'm pro-choice, so you've done this very nicely. =P

Sad Haiku. The word needs to be spread so that abortion will no longer be a means of planned parenthood. Keep the magical pen flowing. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work. Sara

A powerful write from your blessed heart, Robert! If I had ever been blessed with conception, I would not have allowed my womb to become "a baby's tomb." Strong, clear statement in this excellent write! Love, Carolyn
