Death by Colision or by Decision

Death by collision or decision

Running scared, running fast and straight
At top speed, and than out of the  garden gate

Some thing big, and bright
Some thing white

Cold frozen steel 
        Against
               A warm blooded mammal

Ignited with freedom on the running end of
That rotten chain; he is lose again

From this his tether bound
Which kept him whirling round
 
Kept him turning on muddled ground
Kept him circling on frozen feceed covered ground

Left alone for hours; forgotten
But, yet still he is missed their dog; Cotton

The Driver has no where to go
A vehicle to close behind oh! No!

No escape for him to find
While driving down on County Line

This young pup had some nerve
Although short lived it was served
 
So nervous this driver was as the duel begun
It soon did end with a thump bump thump

The death roll seen in frighted mirror
The scene swept clean by the plow in terror

How unkind was this, his demise
But, yet I wonder was this hound wise

Or

Was it death by decision
Or collision?

About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: U.S. A. Indiana, Valparaiso, USA

Favorite Poets: Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Carl Sandburg these I have read some And so Many More. I have no Favorite or any that I dislike. Whom I consider to be poets; of course there are many Dark and hateful souls, who would cry out and to I will lend an ear, but some. They just leave a awful taste in my heart that I can not bear to read twice. Let alone as many times I would do normally; as I must.

Death by Collision

Liked the title, beginning and ending. Theme and language good. Just a few glitches with the rhythm, but a very good poem I thought~ _____________________________________________________ Income-tax forms should be more realistic by allowing the taxpayer to list "Uncle Sam" as a dependent Anonymous
