A Notion
by Erin G. (Age: 14)
copyright 10-22-2006


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
I hadn’t the notion,
Of the kind of emotion,
It would take to do such a thing.

Free falling into darkness,
An impact of harshness,
As your body lay cold and alone.

A night once filled with laughter,
My heart beating faster,
As the ambulance rushes to save.

Mere seconds before,
Could have been the lore,
Of tragedy, loss, and pain.

Since driving away,
I’ve never forgotten the day,
Upon the asphalt your body had lay.

~*~

This is based on an experience that I went through about a month ago. A friend and I were going to a concert together, her parents were coming with us. We were driving down the road, and we came to an overpass with three bridges on top of each other. We drove under these bridges, but just as we were about to come out from under them, something fell and almost hit our car. My friend’s father swerved, almost hitting the car next to us. Then we turned around and realized it was a person. We called the police, but we had to keep going because we knew the band, and they were expecting us. We don’t know whether he fell off, was pushed off, or…jumped.

I don’t think I’ll ever be the same, and I’m still scared of bridges.

That is sad. I kinda know how u feel, I lost someone very important to me

That had to be an awful experience. I can't say that I know how you feel. I will say that your poem expresses the emotions you felt very well and that I didn't find any errors or places of forced rhyme or rhythm. Good work.

Oh my gosh Erin. I would be scarred for life after witnessing something like that.

Your feelings were so clear and precisely explained here in this poem. I am so moved. No complaints, and full marks.

Luckily I have never had this happen to me. However this is a wonderful write.

This may seem strange, but I had the same experience when I was your age. We were driving over a bridge, when a person jumped off. Luckily it was a small bridge and the person survived the fall. It left me with a stange feeling, and your poem brought back that feeling.
