P.S. For a MUCH DIFFERENT 'rape story, including its result for the man', I have a 'perhaps-not-completely-serious' poem which my sister called 'GROSS', but I don't know if she read it. (cont.)

FIVE stars ***** In addition to 'missing punctuation', sometimes starting Each Line with a Capital letter can cause trouble for me and others. : ) bri

stanza 8: I might 'tweak' aka 'adjust; fine-tune' the ending lines a bit. stanza 9: without punctuation to divide sentences, readers can't be sure where a sentence ends & another begins.

stanza 6: To make it read (for me) as a complete sentence, I suggest starting with 'I am'.And I hope readers understand that, here, 'dying' means 'very anxious' to be born. (I Think) ;)

stanza 5: Does 'he' and 'his' refer to the rapist or a resultant-son of the rape victim, OR sometimes to one and sometimes to the other? ? ?

Putting up a struggle against a rapist (or many other criminals) can be a great idea. But, it CAN LEAD TO an unwelcome, even deadly, response. : (

stanza 3: Instead of 'the might', I suggest using 'my might'. For me it is more specific, and also adds an alliteration, which I like. : ) I also like 'core of the manhood'. Ouch! !
