  1. Dramatic stuff, Anita! Very testing, that kind of ‘delirium’…

    1. My sister nearly binned this one, thinking it wasn’t any good… I’m glad she didn’t…

  2. Very evocative. This poem lays bare as a falsehood the old platitude:

                                    Stick and stones
                                    May break my bones
                                    Words will never hurt me
    

    Words have their own power, for better or for worse.

    The use of the nightmare imagery is very striking ‘sheets soaked’ resulting from ‘Whispers become screams’ . Your own strong and vivid use of ‘Words’.

    Well done.
