Deep pain and torture
during ritual abuse.
Indescribable.

    Yes I totally agree that abuse can be inescribable. I love what you have done with this piece.

    I think 'undescribable' should be: indescribable :)
    A haiku is about nature, and a senyru is more on humans. So I think this is a senyru. Also, I counted 5-6-5 syllables, whereas the traditional should have 7 syllables in the second line. But you could pronounce 'ritual' with three syllables, so it's fine, I guess. Just thought I'd mentiion that.

    What you've written here touches on a subject so delicate. It is heartbreaking, and 'ritual abuse' is just cringe-worthy.
    Hope all is well. Great write.

      Hi, thank you so much, will fix the spelling error, I am a bit rubbish at grammer :(

      As for the syllables I am happy to keep it as it is because ritual is pronounced with 3 syllables where I am from, but I understand that people pronounce it differently.

      Thanks for advice though.

    Ritual abuse...so horrible. </3
    My heart breaks reading this... I'd say it is something that can not be put into words... not enough words in the dictionary to express your pain.

    Interesting!

    Abuse is really terrible, especially if it was verbal!

    I like how you enlightened on the topic with this beautiful, veryyyy short worded haiku.
