Spun haiku from Barbara Lynn's Don't Hit Me No More
I'm a good woman
Your good woman longs for you
Don't hit me no more
Don't hit me no more
Let me be your happiness
I'm a good woman
I'm a good woman
Should be your treasure and soul
Don't hit me no more
Don't hit me no more
Hit me no more please no more
Don't hit me no more
No more left no more
Of me is left no more left
Once a good woman

Thank you for the good wishes.Your poem is an example of what the 60's represent. But I know that woman has changed after all these years. :)
You form lends an incredible force to these words, Gemma. Just WOW!
This says it all, and hints at the gradual decline of selfhood under abuse. Powerful!
OW! You got right in there, making the haiku almost a blues beat. Very creative.
oh, your last haiku is wrenching. until then, salvation seems possible. whoa.
Great presentation... love that they can stand alone and read as one.
A great piece that emphasizes how abuse can kill self esteem.
