[hometext] => I wrote this poem about my closest friend who was murdered last October 13th.
He was involved in drug dealing and he owed 15 dollars to some gang bangers. He didn’t have the money on him and he was late in paying it. So three men came up behind Eric and Jason while they were walking to the forest preserve. They beat the ***** out of Jason and put him in the hospital. As for Eric, a guy came up behind him and slit his throat. Later that night I got a phone call from Jason’s mom telling me what happened. My heart sank and I thought my life was over… [bodytext] => Why does the sun rise and give light Only to set again too soon Why do stars twinkle so bright Only to pass away with the moon Why does a rainbow appear with colors to show Only to fade for no apparent reason Why does a flower take so long to grow Only to die during winter season Why does snow fall so prettily and lay Only to change and then melt Why do people enter our lives along the way Only to leave us when they knew how we felt It was cold and windy That one October day When you died and Left my world so gray When you owed 15 dollars They were after you A guy slit your throat And once I find out who… They’ll get a piece of my mind Murdering my best friend If only you weren’t dealing Your life wouldn’t have come to an end You left me on this world To deal with your pain You thought of your life As one huge game Never thinking you’d get caught Never worrying who would tell Just constantly worrying About how much you’d sell Dealing drugs was your life But when it came to friends You were there for me Through all the thick ends We shared so much In our short time together And the time that we shared Has made memories forever A few days later You were put in the ground And I became quiet Never making a sound Sometimes I can't believe That you're really gone You always swore you'd never leave me But I guess what we thought was wrong [comments] => 4 [counter] => 242 [topic] => 48 [informant] => Val [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
