Gang Raped ( acrostic triple senryu )

by Baby Rainbow   Sep 9, 2012


Grabbed without warning
A dozen hands pulling me,
Never letting go

Gone was my control
Repeatedly torn apart
And brutally raped.

Pushed to the road side
Evading into darkness,
Desperately lost.

    Firstly hun, if this is something that has happened to you I am so sorry. No one should be put through that torture or pain. No one should be subject to such an act of violence and violation.

    The title was so direct, you knew in an instant what the poem was about but such a serious title made me want to read it because you had the strength and courage to post this poem to begin with. I find that admirable. No one could know what you went through (unless you have been there yourself) so even though I read your poem which broke my heart, I could not relate to it though my heart was filled with sadness and sympathy.

    Obviously, the title told what this poem was about. It's straight forward and direct as well as the poem. It's not something that I love to read about... but I had to read it because it was written by you... if it was anyone else, I wouldn't have opened it because I don't want to envision that type of pain.

    This has loads of imagery...getting grabbed, being raped, and then thrown on the side of the road like you are a piece of trash.... my heart is just shattering. </3

  • Such a sad, sad piece... :(

    The imagery here is very vivid; the emotion I feel whilst reading this is pure fear, but I can imagine an adrenaline rush happening..? Complete oppression. I cannot imagine how you must have felt in such a situation (if this is indeed true)...

    Gone was my control
    Repeatedly torn apart
    And brutally raped.

    Here I feel shame as though by losing your control and having to endure such an act, you feel ashamed at yourself. Though you need not feel that way - your attackers are the ones who should feel ashamed!

    Pushed to the road side
    Evading into darkness,
    Desperatly lost.

    I feel: so alone, desperate, broken, ashamed.... so many mixed emotions!!
    I get an image of a woman curled into a ball, clothes torn, hands over her face, sobbing upon the road... it's not a nice image, but it has it's intended effect.

    _______________________________
    OVERALL;
    My condolences (though that's hardly enough and probably unwanted!)

    To your poem:
    The emotion in this short piece was excruciatingly deep and muddled as the situation in which you have described calls for.
    The flow of the piece was absolutely perfect.
    Acrostics often seem forced, but there was absolutely no forced words that I noticed.

    One very minor typo:
    Last line;
    'desperatly' should be 'desperately'

    Your title;
    It serves your purpose:
    *has emotional impact
    *gives the acrostic definition and style

    However, I feel like it was too direct - though I do understand it.

    Your writing is as superb as ever. 5/5
