The word "Rape"

The word "Rape"

A Poem by Astro Annie
"

This is about someone using the word "rape" to describe a business deal. That just *got* to me.

"

Rape is just a word
Until it happens to you
Then words go missing

I disagree with the reviewer who says you need to make your poems longer: sometimes the shorter the poem, the more powerful. In fact, the idea of a poem is to convey a message or story with fewer words rather than more!

I like the idea behind this, but I feel like the flow still needs a bit of work. Maybe if you played around with the lines a little? Also, in my opinion, you shouldn't be afraid to break it up. Just because it's "only" three lines doesn't mean that it can't be more than one stanza!
