I tend
to be a wordy-writer, so I am attempting poetry to tell a story, but without
over-telling. I would definitely appreciate some writing tips for poetry.
Ode to a Guardian
Sixteen, yippee!
Driver is me
Two days later
High school finals
Patch of ice
Through a fence
Knocking on a lady’s
back door
What a mess
Done with tests
Message from Mom
“Call me”
“Wait at home
Officer Ticket will come
Wanted to pull you
from school
I told him NO”
No judgment from her
Such strength to say no
My Guardian Angel
Since I was born
I love that you attempted a new genre and with such splendor! The formate was just another way to add uniqueness to your piece. I am no poet, wordy am I, no advice here... maybe I will give it a try!
ReplyDeleteI love it! The snippets are like freeze frames of the story. Similar to an old fashioned movie, the gaps were filled in by my mind effortlessly. You are amazing!
