Like glass shards.
You better be smart
You better play your best cards.
No umbrella,
It's home in it's case.
No shield to protect you.
Blood running down your face.
Screams echo
Loud as thunder.
The more it rains
The more I wonder,
Is this punishment
For all I hate?
This is surely
An unworthy fate.
I could use a boat,
It's starting to flood.
In the water,
I see blood.
The sun
Is being kept away,
Behind the clouds;
An ashy grey.
The water keeps rising,
It's up to my chin.
Nothing to hold onto.
How will I win?
The rain
continues to pour.
I feel like Rose,
Floating on the door.
Jack has drowned.
The rescue boats are gone,
It seems the sun will
Never dawn.
The rain will soon turn to snow.
Ice will burn holes
Right through
Our souls.

I don't really feel that my stuff is amazing when I read the opusses you and other writers come up with
@Davedave16 everyone has weak and strong points in writing! I may be a great song writer(or so I've been told๐) but I'm terrible with poems like limericks, haikus, odes, ect...
@Davedave16 really? I think you're stuff is great! Btw can you write another chapter of The Case of the Missing Case? That's series is AWESOME!
@ClaireTilley this is awesome! I kind of like when songs have no chorus, because there's nothing being repeated.
@AWriterGirl lol I'm the opposite, love poems, suck at songs.. I like the poems you've written though!
I'm working on chapter 4 but as I just restarted school, I can only write once I've finished everything I need to do :(
@Davedave16 yea that's the same with me :( I keep a notebook with me in my classes so if an idea comes to me I just write it down
I use my iPod and if an idea pops up, I memorise it instead of some GCSE stuff and write it down later. I then remember the thing I forgot
Speaking of this, I actually use the notes but and I write my chapter draft on one note and when it's done, I copy the note and paste it onto a note with everything I've done so far
If you wanted to know anything about the cotmc, like things like my inspiration, etc, I'd be happy to tell you everything you wanted to know
@ClaireTilley I have a full copy do if anyone wanted everything or if I wanted it for anything else, I just copy it from there ๐ Also I iMessage the chapters in writing to my friend so proof read which also stops me deleting them for good by accident (I did this with chapter 3 before i finished it but now it's better than ever)
Unfortunately due to school work, the chapters will now take longer to write but I should get most of chapter 4 done on Sunday if my parents don't stop me using my iPod
It's never taken away I just can't get out of doing a job like vacuuming the whole house or something like that
