   Violence is portrayed so strongly here., Very good verse but terrible situation. I have often had great dificulty coming to terms with the fact that ”men” beat wives or to a certain extent the opposite, but realistically less. I often look at flaws in modern society, away from nature, and wonder if this is one, or if it is ”traditional.”

      I had originally written this for HaikuHorizons with the word prompt “after” but then I saw CP with troiku …I know it is not such sadness that should be in haiku though. I seem to have this on my mind a lot these days…wrote a free verse on my other blog http://wp.me/p3ia4v-4HV last week

      Yes, I hear stories, heard stories and every time I hear about it or see a movie I am so broken with fear and sadness for them.

         I can only imagine what you feel … it must be frustrating to not be able to do much to change those situations. 😦

         Yep…more sad than frustrating because the man or woman victim of abuse have to feel ready.

         I know … I’ve often seen those abused seem to be caught in a kind of inertia … which is of course sad.

   Turns out I found your multiple haiku after all. What a powerful piece of writing – it really stings.

      Thanks, Suzanne…I did this in the morning…well, actually my muse just took over…it is the multiple images that took a long time, I was never happy with the results.

         It is amazing how much time can go on blogging when you get inspired. Sometimes I think I am wasting my time then I get some great comments and feel my efforts aren’t in vain. Blogging is a great venue for exercising the muse, that’s for sure.
         Making the images does take time too. As for being happy with the results, the more I write haiga the more I am finding the original ones I post on my blog are a kind of draft haiga. Often I go back and rework the image or fine tune the words – sometimes months later.
         One I wrote for 30 doh this week was like that. http://artifactsandfictions.com/2015/09/22/at-the-edge/
         I have been playing around with the image and the haiku to go with it on and off all year. Finally I think I wrote something that conveyed what I was groping towards.

   A topic not often spoken of in company, but deserves to be. Eye opening with a feel of helplessness for sure. Nice piece of writing.
