A Daughter Deflowered Comments

I have never read such a good poem as this about this difficult and disturbing subject. Incredible.

Disturbing subject that is well expressed and that brings out the shame, deception, and treason in rape and incest and neglect. Thanks for sharing.

The title has a powerful hidden message in it and this piece is absolutely awesome. Many individuals, male and female, has experienced this type of event as sick as it is. Outstanding performance.

This is a beautiful poem (despite the horror of its subject) . It portrays not only what was done (in a lovely graven meter) , but also the way the narrator feels-and perhaps-remembers it. It's quite amazing: Neither the 'he' nor the 'she' of the poem are labeled, but both are unforgettably described. This poem is both subtle and brazen-an admirable accomplishment.-Bryan Taplits
