doing one on the issue, but wasn't sure how to make it work.
this was a sad write.
the reality of life sometimes has such a harsh bite.
ty!
i forget to use the thermometer half the time anyhow so i just don't bother with it anymore, i rated this, and also, i enjoyed the read in a sad sort of way!
precedent law will allow a criminal to go free on a technicality or, possibly, the ignorance of a long dead judge who had a different case to try will determine the sentencing of a guilty murderer.
The acts of a person on another are cruel, the acts of a society that allows a murdering criminal to even apply for parole are inhuman.
thank you, this was so accurate and true. i will post a response to this in poetry, only as anther way this can be seen.
I am not familiar with this case, but I will be soon. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
That gave me chills.
You did justice to such a sensitive issue.
Fantastic job!! ;-)
...of this challenge that I've read and re-read - I am going to have to stop. All are so powerful, each in their own way and I'm emotionally exhausted.
This poem would have benefitted from a short pre-amble to explain the story for us ignorants.
I voted on Belegon''s poem, I do not use the thermometer.
