The Accident
Confusion abounds as thoughts run wild,
The oldest adult is reduced to a child.
Time stands still or moves in sliding slow motion,
All meaning seems lost in the depths of an ocean.
Sounds echo back or are lost in a wail,
As terror reigns and fears prevail.
Crashing and slashing the noise cuts through
As soft men in white bend over you.
Soon they are gone and the night swallows all,
But the memory of it we will always recall.

on The Accident from @c lynn brooks
"what is missing is was this written as the first person(you) or is about someone else and you are the bystander" -

on The Accident from @Gracy
"Good write about a horrid accident. I do think the rhyming is sort of forced. Form does that, but less obviously. Perhaps you can re-arrange some lines...just my thoughts. Take or toss." -

on The Accident from @Geezer
"but it's missing something. Just can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's your habit of running the lines so together rather than putting them in quatrains, that makes it seem so brutally short. ~ Geezer. ." -

About Me
About me
I'm an old lady who likes to write.
I started my work life as a Middle school science teacher, then lab bench worker, international scientific equipment representative, food ingredient sales rep, back to bench work, then scientific equipment product lead, then retirement. I couldn't stay retired, so I took to technical editing. It seems like I have been writing all my life - instruction manuals, directions for use of equipment, copy writing. In my spare time I have dabbled in poetry. I am curious to find if other people think it is any good.
