Guilt (Elegy Poem)

This is right, that is wrong

How will I decipher what I will prolong?

To ridden all your sins you must repent

Sometimes all my thoughts and feelings I must vent

If the facts are there I need to care

For the fear of death I do not dare

I have these visions or are they dreams

The bugs of death crawl through my seams

I will try running but it will follow

For the escape of fatality I will have to swallow

I chose this poem because I liked how the poet  incorporated more than one event.  When I read it I thought that the poet was talking about  a skydiver, an airplane and a comet.  All three were in the sky, they all had some sort of wings and they soared through the sky very fast.

Undetectable sliding
Cars smacking the walls.

"The Gullible Little Red Riding Hood"

“How could this have happened?” asked the mother, to what’s left of her family outside overlooking the graves of not only her daughter, Red Riding Hood but also the grandmother.  “I asked her to go straight to her grandmother’s house to drop off some cake, I never imagined it would come to this” as she sat there at the funeral  the rain pouring over her entire body it was so cold you could see the air come out of her mouth every time she would take a breathe.  “I should’ve known better, I will never forgive myself!” 

What led to this moment, how did this all happen with just a harmless ride to her grandmother’s house to check up on her and bring her some cake?

Once upon a time in a far away land there lived a beautiful little girl in a small village with her family.  Her mother adored her so much she even handmade her daughter this gorgeous red velvet hooded cape for her to wear.  “Hear my love, I have made this by hand for you and want you to always think of me every time you put this on.”  “Oh wow mother!  It is beautiful and I will always think of you!”  shouted the daughter.  She would wear it all the time so everyone decided to call her “Little Red Riding Hood.”   One day the mother was baking a cake in the kitchen and hollered out to little red riding hood.  “Little Red Riding Hood!” shouted the mother, “please come and take some cake to grandma’s house.  Maybe this will help get her in a better mood.”    She has been feeling under the weather lately and the smell and warm taste might help make her feel better.  Oh I hope this cake will do the trick mother, I haven’t seen grandma in a while now and I am starting to really miss her like I miss my friends on school break. 

So off went Little Red Riding in the woods through the village to go visit her grandmother in hopes that the cake will make her feel better.  As she skipped through the woods she was approached by a bear.  “Well hello there my dear lady, what’s your name?” asked the bear.  Hello, I…I….hesitant to answer the bear since he was a stranger and she had never met him before.  She spoke in a very faint tone “I go by the name of little red riding hood.”   “Don’t be afraid my dear, I won’t hurt you I am just very lonely out here in the woods and I have no friends.  I seen you and wanted to say hello” said the bear.  After hearing the sad story the bear told her about why he is so lonely little red riding hood felt bad and asked him If he would like to walk with her the rest of the way to her grandmother’s house.  Of course! shouted the bear.  I would love to go with you and have you and your grandmother for supper!  Ah hum…..I mean I would love to visit your grandmother’s house with my new friend.  The bear’s intentions were on eating the grandmother and little red riding hood as fast as he can for he hasn’t ea ten in 4 days. 

The bear couldn’t take the thought of having to wait any longer and tricked little red riding hood to turn around and GULP!  One bite she was all gone!!!! He had her for supper and was still hungry.  She had previously told him where her grandmother’s house was so he threw on her cape and went to eat the grandmother too.  When he finally reached the house he knocked on the door and acted like he was little red riding hood and disguised his voice.  “Knock knock” it’s me grandmother I have come to visit and bring you some warm cake to eat” said the bear in a high pitched voice.   The grandmother responded, “the door is open honey come into my room for I am laying in bed.”   The bear was so excited he had drool coming out of both sides of his mouth.  Wow honey you sure do look different said the grandmother to the bear.  Oh it’s this beautiful red coat I have on replied the bear.  Wow what big hands you have dear, said the grandmother.  Oh it’s um…it’s um… I have grown since the last time you seen me responded the bear.  Wow what big teeth you have dear, said the grandmother.  “My teeth are to GULP!  This was the best supper I have had in a while!” exclaimed the bear.  Now I could go to sleep and wait for my next dish when I awake.   Hahahahaha hahahaha, laughed the bear.
