    too young to die (in memory of cuzin jay)

    He was going way too fast
    down a road he claimed to kno
    he wasn't buckled up
    he flew out the windshield
    landed on his head
    bounced on the concrete
    still not dead
    but a truck came and ran over him
    brain coming out his ears
    when we got the call
    we all burst into tears
    we loved him dearly
    all of us
    but he did to himself
    he was too young to die
    i wrote a poem for him
    put it in his casket
    kissed his cold head
    see you in heaven
    with tears in my eyes i walked away
    i still remember it vividly
    till this day
    the day jay died
    was the day i gave my soul away

    First, my condolences. Such a loss is great to bear. I like the way your poem flows, though... Lots of emotions behind this one. I'll give it a nine.

    For one of such a young age, I am quite impressed with the depth of emotion behind your choice or words and the lyrical flow of the aftereffects of the death of a loved one. Well done!

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
