Leslie,

Your poem is well written and I like your aabb rhyme scheme...all of which are unforced as you tell the tale. It's a story that as you mentioned in your author notes... unfortunately does happen. Sorry to hear you knew someone so affected by this.

Your presentation is also excellent,
Linda

    Thank you Linda. Yes, and when that happens it is indeed tragic.

I clean up crime scenes, so I know a bit about what you're talking about. The child murders, and the suicides are generally the worst. I often have hallucinations about dead people if I stay on a job like that for too long.

    Oh, that sound s vey stressful and disturbing. I can see where you'd be affected by it. I hope it is not often that it occurs.

That is one scary poem!

I hope you didn't have someone in mind when you wrote it.
(If so, you are a very evil man.)

Happy Halloween'

    Not to worry - first I am a woman and no I didn't have anyone in mind when I wrote it, but then I remembered that I Iknew a woman whose son was murdered by a soon to be x girlfriend who also took her own life.. Tragic !
