(565) Walk Away-Please Don’t Stay Comments

what a poem! It is so thought provoking...which is what I look for in a poem. ((well one of the things)) (smile) I am so glad you shedded light on this issue of woman brutality on men, What people need to know is it is not funny EITHER WAY...man against woman or vice versa. I pray this poem touches someone and makes them walk out of the situation or that it prompts someone to blow the whistle on a woman who is beating their husband...because even though they are a 'MAN' doesnt mean they are always strong enough to walk away.If a person can help as a witness to the abuse then maybe just maybe that woman will be put away as easy as a man can be...and maybe then the healing can begin. Great Title, subject and just a truthful piece of poetry! You are so talented Melvina as every time I read your poetry I realize more and more that your gift is getting stronger and stronger every day! Thank you for sharing! I am so happy to have joined this new site. God Bless, L, Shelley

It's a nice poem. Brings light to the other side of the social perspective. You fought well for those poor, undefended husbands, and I applaud you for being such a sensitive lady. The poem is written in a scarily flirtative and possesive, dominating manner, that is relevant as you, putting yourself in their shoes, act out the perfect script of the hypocrite. Cool.

Melvina, no one ever thinks that a man can be battered husband it is only the wives that are battered. You have brought a well hidden and well camouflaged fact to light here. I hope quite a few people take note. This a thoughtful and profound statement. Thank you for sharing it. David

This rings true over here too Melvina! ! This is very fine social comment writing that should be taken seriously. Having worked for the law for many years I saw the reality of it and the twisted logic behind it which you present very convincingly. Terrific writing dispaying great compassion. There's a great heart behind this. xx jim
