Wow! To the point of death threats. We live in a crazy world. It could be being raised by a strong single mum would have kept him on the straight and narrow.

A powerful poem. The ending reminded me how much damage is inflicted on the victims of rape and abuse. A strong warning for the son.

Raw and powerful, loaded with emotion. This one speaks to issues of domination, abuse and pain. Hard to read,

A powerful and emotional piece of the horrific nature of rape, although she loves her son dearly she is always reminded of being raped. She is clearly telling her son you will not follow in your fathers footsteps

We have five senses they say but many feel there is a sixth. If deprived of one the others grow stronger. The sixth has no name but intuition is as good as any. Faith may be a part of it. It raises the hairs on the back of the neck and often tells us what way to go. A dark sense it is a guide in life and this poem speaks to this. Most sensitive and tender a wonderful work.

A very touching and emotional piece, showing that what ever barricades you have in life, with the courage and the right approach you can achieve what you want to. Lovely piece of poetry.

Emotive words David. Many years ago this happened to one of our friends and she had to give birth to a dead baby. There is nothing quite so sad as going to a babies funeral with the baby in a tiny coffin.

Wise words from experience are better than holy words from scripture I always say. A great write that cuts to the core of life.

A sad and emotional piece of the longing for and the missing of a loved one, the clearing off the leaves is clearing the way. Very well written as always

A melancholic and sad poem written in such a way that the reveal comes at the end and turns the emotion from one of love to one of missing. Tender it leaves with it as sense of loss

I admit it can be sometimes \'out of sight, out of mind\'. When visiting, or re-visiting a grave, it may be that weeks or months have passed - time flies?

The dog that climbed trees.
arqios said:
Hurray for the pursuit of one\'s true nature despite external pressures. And regardless of external recognition or validation the dog looking up at the moon but not barking, evokes a sense of quiet pride and fulfilment. With that we are all set to embrace our unique journeys and stand tall against adversity.

Poetic Licence said:
I feel it is about not being beaten into submission by what others are wanting and telling you to do, and having the strength to do what you want and stand on your own 2 feet, that`s just my thought. It probably has a 100 interpretations, beautifully written complex poem, that for certain makes you think, really enjoyed the read.

Let me go out on a limb. Some are destined to be different and as such are not well accepted and not wished well. And as for barking at the moon such people know their limits if wise. What a metaphoric piece David that certainly may contain various interpretations
