Deceptions

by Stephanie Naylor   May 11, 2007


Darkest deceptions of the midnight sky
blood curdling screams, cut and cries

a mother broken, a child gone
a story that unfolded just before dawn

a mother who didn't care
to much for the child to bare

blood splattered floors
suicide note ridden doors

a family left torn apart
like the ridges of the child's dead lifeless heart

    Awe, this was so sad. It fully portrayed a theme of death and despair tearing a family apart.

    "to much for the child to bare" = 'to' should be 'too'.

    Overall it was very good. Deeply sad and dark, but good.

    I liked this poem. I really liked how you made the stanzas short, and kept the poem short and simple. The ending was my favorite part.. cause its so true when something so terrible like that happens to a family it leaves a scar that will never go away and it haunts everyone from family to friends for the rest of their lives, it can even rip families apart. nice job. The fist stanza was my favorite out of them all.

  • This is a good poem i like it a lot.
