Sorry, I think my conscience must%26#039;ve got lost on the way,
maybe it decided to call in sick today.
Whipe the blood on my jeans, paste on a smile,
I hope I can keep going for one last mile.
I won the battle, but he lost the fight
A siren starts sounding to my right.
Grip the wheel a little tighter, my knuckles red,
repeat the very last words that he said.
%26quot;At home I%26#039;ve got children, a daughter and wife.
My lily of the valley, the love of my life.
You%26#039;ve gotta know how I feel, with a brood of your own,%26quot;
But I shook my head, said %26quot;I live all alone%26quot;.
%26quot;Every night I lay down, and cry silver tears,
I killed my wife and kids, its been so many years.%26quot;
He didn%26#039;t beg for his life, but he didn%26#039;t ask for more,
so i pulled over the car, and opened the door.
He may be in bad shape, but he%26#039;ll come home tonight,
he%26#039;s gotta be there, to kiss his kid, and turn out the light.
He%26#039;ll curl up in bed, his heartbeat so weak,
but he%26#039;ll curl up with his wife, lay a kiss on her cheek.
Newest poem? Please, what do you think? I wrote it, I%26#039;m 13?
Did you really write that? I guess it%26#039;s just such a good poem and it flows so well! You should keep writing poems and maybe in the future you could publish some of them!!!
Once again, very nice poem

Reply:ugh it sounds terrible. its a cheep shot from a thirteen year old
Reply:I believe I critiqued one of your poems recently and as I recall that was a good effort also.
Heavy and dark! For one so young to come up with this type of missive off the top her head is astounding! You are good!
I find the dark repartee between a waif and her paramour a little bent on similes and metaphors. Where did the blood come from? Write what you feel. %26quot;...my conscience....call in sick today.%26quot;; I won the battle...etc%26quot;; %26quot;My lily Of The Valley....etc%26quot;. Be yourself and expand your ideas. Its a good story line one I haven%26#039;t seen for a long time.
The pentameter is good and keeps the story rolling with the reader looking for more excitement as the story unfolds.
I would also suggest you continue to read other authors of the same genre, free form. Your punctuation seems to have improved over the last missive of yours I read, keep at it.
Even in your writing infancy you are a natural. Keep writing when the need arises. I want to see more of your work.
Reply:LUV it...kkeeep up the wonderful work..:]]]
Reply:keep up the good work, the best time to write is when it just starts pouring out of you from out of nowhere
peace and grace to you from God
