Blue Murder

sandie on Sep 15, 2009

A story that I made up.

Please don’t lock me in the cupboard again

I can’t help it if I wet the bed

Please don’t hurt me I can’t bear the pain

When you clip me across the head.

One day my mum was gone

Nobody saw her again

Neighbours say she was wrong

She left us all alone with no words to explain.

Last time she was here

You had a row and a good moan

You drank too much beer

When will my mum be home?

Years later a body was found

By someone out walking with his greyhound

The police sealed it off from the press

I was having my birthday and dad bought me a new dress.

We didn’t get much as we were poor

It was good to play

A week later there was a knock on the door

My dad was marched away.

My dad was arrested and charged with killing my mum

I was put into a home

Now no mum or dad and stuck in this asylum

I am all alone.

My dad went to jail

With no chance of bail

My mum went through more pain than me

She was buried deep in some woods where nobody could see.

I hope this isn’t from experience, and just your imagination!!!

Excellent poem from an imaginative young writer from the U.K. I enjoy reading your work when I’m psyched up for it.
