Accidentally Dead (Terza Rima)

by Anaisthitos   Jun 3, 2007


Her eyes are wide, she can't believe what she sees
Her mouth is open, amazed at what she's done
She cries into her hands, oh how could this be?!

She now sees the type of person she's become
She is in shock, dizzily she holds her head
She doesn't know what to do, "help me, someone!"

She looks at her doing, a body lay dead
It's not her fault, she never meant to do this
The ground around her begins to turn deep red

Though she will be punished, for her ignorance
She should have stopped what was coming at the midst
But it's to late now, she took life from the innocent.

--------------------------

A Terza Rima poem has a rhyming scheme of aba; bcb; cdc; dd. I added an extra line (d) to the end because the two lines before didn't really close it all that well.

    Very beautifully worded and proper lexis used. I love reading sad poems. This one is also great. I really worth your work, just correct the meager mistake "to/too".

    Yet it is 5/5 from me :)

    One typo-- in the last line 'to' should be too'. You seem to have a knack for writing short, yet extremely descriptive poems that are enjoyable to read.

    Oh, and a comment on the type of rhyme scheme you've used--- this is a relatively tough one to follow, and it definitely works well here. Nice job!

    Interesting. I liked what you did with this poem you began to portray it quite nicely. The topic seemed some what cliche in it but thats only because I've read so many poems like this and wrote alot myself. I liked the style. Good work on this~mel
