I dont think the word is in any way lewd or suggestive. If my poem were refering to something about the "Virgin Mary" would that be inappropriate?

If you change it, it may change to non-e. Remember especially that if you mention 'kill' or anything relating to murder or violence, it becomes non-e.

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:52:36 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/forums/message_id/2355486 Alright, I changed my apparently non-E rating to exclude the word "murder" in it.
