[hometext] => parody of the night before christmas. personally i think this is a bit strong for only my second post but meh. i came up with a few of the lines and then just had to finish it. tell me what you think
[bodytext] => ‘Twas the night ‘fore another and all through the house A fire was raging that no water could douse The skeletons were filed in the closet with care In hopes that come morning they’d no longer be there A lone child is lying restless in their bed While visions of peaceful life dance in their head Their whole life, like glass, has fallen and shattered The parents don’t bother to ask what’s the matter Their life, they could end it as quick as a flash To them there’s no other way to heal this gash If only their worries could all disappear The end of a short life would not seem so near So almost every day we hear on the news About a youth whose life was taken by booze Or perhaps by a gun or the drugs in town How can we protect them from the things around? Too often we ignore them, it’s a simple quirk But maybe if we listened to them that would work We all have to help them raise their eyes from their toes And try to instill in them that on life will go So now as the image drifts slowly out of sight Remember what you have read and to all, a good night.

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. ©
