I kind of didn't understand this about the chld there singing, and the frozen drops of blood etc, it's as if I find it un believable a child would be singing while things go on like this in the dark of nite.

I noticed that your poem is written in big font and then towards the end there is one stanza that is in smaller font. Is there a reason for that? Just curious.

Your poem tells a story and it grabs my attention from the very beginning. It flows really well and I love your choice of words. I can actually picture what is going on in this poem thanks to the great imagery you use throughout the piece. I also find the piece touching. Thanks so much for sharing and keep on writing.

All the best,
lena

the first part sounds like Baltimore and our terrible crime problem.
Most interesting piece. And the federal prosecuter that was killed here they found blood from someone else in his car and on a toll ticket. G

A deep moving and even beautiful poem I especially liked this line:
'like rose petals on a snow drift'
and when it was finished I couldn't help but wonder 'why' this has to happen...(the innocent of life hurting so,)it's tragic,
I am wondering Regis,did you toss up
using a 'why' in place of 'sigh' in that last line???
Both are appropriate.
Yes,I agree,the harsh side of life leaves one with a sigh,no doubt about that.
Excellent poetry,another winner I think.
