Red ran the river of blood as he rained blows on her.
She crouched in silent endurance,
shielding the tender child in her womb, courageously.

Loved your creative post, you inspired me to write too.

A very tough poetry Shailaja .Keep writing such poems
Oh… that was too much melancholy..!!
Shailaja, did you put it on the 3line thursday page? this is very good.
I think the entries are closed already, Lata. Shall I put it there anyway?
hmm.. they dont take it for judging.
Yes. No worries. Added it in the comments anyway 🙂 Thanks!
Next week for sure.. see you there
Oh, Shailaja, that hurt! Simply reading it sent a shiver down my spine. Wonder how women who go through it face life.
True Shilpa. I shudder to think of women who actually face this 🙁
