NinjaGirl

antique forgot

lay distraught

forget me not

lay, caught

caught then bought,

sold and used,

again abused.

    Now this is something different. So well worded and cleverly structured it rolls off the tongue but rattles in the mind. The meaning of this may be many but what I took was feelings of being discarded, when there is an expectation of being cared for, of being nothing more than an object to be purchased and used therefore abused. A sad poem of people treated as objects. Whether a child, woman or weak person treated as a slave and or disposable property. Gut wrenching. A most ingenious write deserving of a fave.

      Thank you, it is a tragic cycle of events.

      I got the sense of the cycle of abuse, how people are used,abused and disposed of for someone else to then use and abuse,a sad but very powerful write, clever in it's writings

      • NinjaGirl

        Yes, thank you for reading!

        • Poetic Licence
