Crimson Ribbon
Notice how she hangs there
Golden
Beaten like some campaign
Medal
Suspended
From a crimson ribbon frayed
…
Now then,
Sshh.. and truly listen
To these words of mine with caution
…
These are not just simple
Raindrops falling
These are real tears, truly shed
For broken women everywhere,
Taken, and sometime later laid to rest
Upon said, crimson ribbon frayed …

Andy

The fate of some females is frayed just like your tender verse says like ribbon and oft-times from birth they have abuse to crimson the colour of sadness - a truly moving write on a growing section of modern community - thanks for the caring reminder Nev.
This one is off to my favourties for further viewing occasions..........x
.. There are certainly more hero's & victims without a Y chromosome than perpetrators with one and that's for sure .... and I salute them all .... Thanks for such an understanding and appreciative review Fay .... cheque is on its way ..... x
A fine write Neville.
........................... That's just fine then .. Cheers Orchidee 🙂

Angela here - Good afternoon Neville - Thnaks for a verry challenging comment in suppoert of Broken Women ! In my PHYSIO Clinic I get Clients from ORTHPEDIC whose limbs have been literally broken by violent & abusive MEN ! Often they are *Scared of & scarred by MEN* and prefer a Female Physio with lots of TLC. They need a lot of LOVE to help them HEAL Physically & Mentally. Because I am Catholic I wear a Cross and we have a Nun in the Hospital Chaplaincy - who will pray with them !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian & Smokey 💛💛💛
Thank you for commenting on these words of mine, & for the share .. All Good Things .. Neville
You never fail to succeed - you have a style of your own and your choice of subject matter is inspired.
.. I really can not thank you enough Michael .. I am truly honoured ..

I gotta meet these gals. I'm sure it's not the same gal each time. I dunno what I'm missing! Back in 6 months, when I've met them all. lol.
Sometimes it is.. but only sometimes .. and you are gonna need a lot longer than six months Orchidee ....
subtle, ever so subtle in delivery but, thunderously poignant!
indeed a message that is timely in bringing awareness to something that most urgently needs it,
these self isolation conditions have truly created more and more unbearable conditions for some of the most vulnerable in our society
.................... exactly ... thanks L.B and much appreciated you are too my friend ..
Neville
