Sad poem for my grand-daughter( free verse)
Miranda by justjo66
    Sad Poems Contest Winner 

The sun sparkled on the blue water
and reflected off the pool chair
It was early in the day
the water still cool.

Just an ordinary day
How could anyone passing by
see the horror that lay beneath?

Short curly red hair floating
3 year old arms extended out
Her little white sun-dress drifting
Face down she lay

What had caused her to take that
fatal plunge we would never know
A hole in the fence was later fixed
But we could not get her back

Her mother screamed when she found her
until the screams became silent
Rescue attempts were useless
Our little angel was gone.


Writing Prompt
Sadness has overcome us all at one time or another. Either caused by a relative or close friend's death or from the girl or guy that broke our heart or just life in general. We all handle situations differently, some good, some bad. This contest gives us the ability to explore this. Your poem can also play into other emotions that are common to writing like this such as anger or depression.
