Shhhhhh,
shhhhhh,
Shhhhhh.
Don’t tell.
Don’t yell.
Take this in your
mouth.
Take this in your
mouth.
This should
shut you up
for life.
In hell.
Here's my post for the Blank Noise Project Blogathon. It's not easy to talk about sexual harassment whether it's subtle or overt. There's almost always a sense of shame, guilt and fear that clings on for much much longer. But one has to talk. To scream. To shout. To protest. To not let it happen to someone else.

powerful stuff.
damn, that was very evocative. VERY powerful.
You are good. Hard hitting.
This is a very important poem which speaks of something so horrible and little talked about.
Oh Gosh, this is a strong one! And very well said..
oh no. i feel sick.
So few words. You always use very few words, but, the effect is as strong as lighting.
I am in love...... with your words.
Hard Hitting

I shuddered too.
i hv read this a few times
and the impact never lessens
i feel like throwing up.

I have always admired your writing style. You use the minimum of words to have the maximum effect.
This piece repulsed me. Brilliant writing!
Slainte!
