RAPE
I screamed as he came,
He pushed me and tore my pants
And he broke my walls.

This is my entry.

[moonleesteem]

Welcome @juliuselohor,
Thanks...Good luck 👍

PS: My God bless you
For exposing the ugly truth about some men
Rape is always a Crime
Trust in God, He will see you through this.

@moneyinfant has added your contest to the list Steemit Writing Contests: Issue #25. The list is updated on a daily basis and your contest will remain on the list until its expiration - there's nothing you need to do.

The list was created to save writers the excessive amount of time spent searching through the #contest tag for writing contests. Now they can just come to the list each day, see new contests and use their time doing what they love - writing.

If you'd like to help spread the word about the Steemit Writing Contest List I'd really appreciate a resteem, but it certainly isn't necessary. The project is simply meant to help writers save time and contest creators attract more contestants.

P.S. If you know of any contests I've missed I'd love to hear about them. Thanks!

[moonleesteem]

Thank you for the mention 👏 @moneyinfant

[moneyinfant]

It's my pleasure. Thanks for hosting this wonderful haiku contest.

Life Advise: Hold it in (an immature yet equally honest Haiku by Nan)

Guilty to admit
Poo jokes are hilarious

Except on a date...

Welcome @venturenan,
Thanks haha... Good Luck 👍
