She cries in the dark

by Tricia   Nov 16, 2006


Crying in the night,
Not saying what is wrong.
All she'll say is no.
You want momma to hold you?
Her mother asks,
Still crying saying no
It's dark and still crying,
Not knowing what she wants.
Just woke up, alone, in the dark.
Tears stream down her face.
I can't see them,
But I know they are there.
She screams when I try to look.
So hard not to,
I want to help,
But she wont let me.
Her cry makes me weak in the knees,
She's my girl,
My Adri,
My niece.

    I like the flow of this, although it's a bit rough in parts, but it's still a great poem. Great job!

    I liked how you ended this poem, I think it had great emotion in it. Maybe if you described this poem what she was feeling why she was awaking? was she having nightmares? if so what about. Im sure if u did this it would make the emotion so much stronger. I think you need to make the lines the same length maybe longer then it would flow more evenly throughout this. I do think your poems have potential to be really great though.~mel
