A Child Becomes A Man Comments

Nice work.................really enjoyed this poem...very good poem!

it is indeed a thought provoking piece Mr walker, and the painful part is though you have now gained strength courage and valiance, it is a route that you will never walk and fix again no wonder the scars remain with flash. Thanks for challenging my thoughts, i like the poem.

Bullying at school can be similar. Excellent stuff.

Absolutely LOVE this one! Opening line had me hooked. Vivid metaphors of scars and dreams. The tone is set early on for the sobering truth revealed in the last stanza.

This is a good write. The transition is one that is difficult to forget.

WOW! (It was all I had written but it asked me to enter at least 20 characters so this line is nothing.)

Yes. We all have to shun domestic violence and the corporal punishment meted out to a child is heinous and the scar will ne'er vanish! !
