Hi Kenneth,

Have I translated the visual verbally via poetics; and in doing so, have I enriched the scene beyond reportage?

Kenneth, Thanks for reading & seeing that photo

It was a surprising poem.One associates home invasion with a violent event. I think the way you arranged the words so they hang is effective.

I saw the photo on Facebook

an assault on the senses is violent

frost

Thanks, Kenneth for revisiting
