Poem of Tragedy
Write a poem about a tragedy, imagined or real. The tragedy could be made into something happy (Ex: My best pet died but I know they are waiting for me and are happy) or it could be kept sad and tearful. Please tag me!
We R Family
It’s just not the same, since Daddy died
I remember the funeral & how hard we all cried
Then Momma had to watch us all drift apart
I swear that she died of a broken heart
You can’t choose family or that’s what they say
But I’m praying we will all work it out one fine day
After all, at one time, we all lived under one roof
That alone should serve as enough proof
’Cause we share the same blood, same habits even hair
Don’t know why we can’t show each other we care
About each day that we have or maybe ask how are the kids
Instead we seem to dwell on what someone once did
I love you my Brother, my Sisters, my Kin
Without you beside me, who cares who wins?
