Shadowy figures
rise up from the depths
one month at a time
they run riot
throughout the town.
Assail the pubs.
Guzzle the grog.
Wander the streets
like rabid dogs.
I was only a slip
of a teenage girl
when he dragged me
by the scruff
of the neck
through the scrub
onto the river bank
under the rivers bridge
where he did with me
what he pleased.
Nine months went by
i stood on the rivers edge
under the rivers bridge.
I brought forth my baby
into this wicked world.
My baby then slipped
into the rivers abysm
Never To Grow Old.
I stumble back home
mumbling to myself
along the way
what a demon i've become
i can't undo what i've done.
I return to the rivers edge
under the rivers bridge
where i stand alone
in my despair
i join my baby
in the rivers abysm
Never To Grow Old.

Nice work, but sad.
Hi Windsmoke,
Wow, so very well written, a sad poem, but you have out done yourself with this one.
Beautifully written here Windsmoke
Beautiful and very sad.
I see "anonymous" has found you.
Yes, you have outdone yourself this time!
A new departure for you, I think. Maybe you should explore further, a cracking start!
sad but a very good piece of story.
don't see you as a poet of sad tales. A new departure which may lead to other well-written verses.
Damn Windsmoke. That's going to haunt me all night.
Professional level writing!

Gosh well done Windsmoke, very poignant and sometimes unfortunately true words.
Very dark, very sad - but strangely appealing nontheless. Maybe because you've captured the despair that we all might feel in the same situation without any support.
So incredibly moving.
Brought more than a tear to my eye :(
G' Day PERTH: Situations like this are true and sad :-).
G' Day RED: It is very sad indeed to be in a situation like this one with no support at all :-).
G' Day YGRAINE: It really does tug at the heart strings :-).
