Addvice To A Battered Wife Comments

A wonderful message on the ill-effects of alcohol in all areas of life and how it affects self and family. Great advice on leaving it behind and moving on with your life. So many women just stay and put up with the abuse, taking away their spirits and self-esteem, as it also damages any children they may have. Very well written poem, thank you for sharing. RoseAnn

a shadow, no longer.....might i suggest a comma in front of.....a shadow..... instead of after it? Addvice To A Battered Wife...... unless it is a societal/language difference, i suggest ADVICE, as in the u.s.a. [i don't mind mistakes in what i consider a bad poem, but this is a very good poem and i think the misspelling takes a little something away from it. not much, but a little bit.] so skillfully it gets you in your hold, .....another suggestion: in its hold, not in your hold OR it gets a hold of you OR it gets you in its hold............but then you would lose one of your rhymes and i enjoy the rhyming a lot. there is a lot of fine observation and suggestion here. well done. but i do feel sorry for alcoholics, as i do feel it is an illness which needs treatment. unfortunately treatment is not always available, affordable, or successful. now to look for one of your NATURE poems. thanks for sharing.

Arti..... A very well carried message in a wonderfully crafted poem. I stand in ovation and cheer your effort. This is indeed an excellent read and your talent to build up gradually on the subject is amazing. Keep up the social cause.....
