Sad story

The evening was silent
Cold, harsh
The child’s voice shook
When she heard the man spoke
The child’s face went white
When she heard the horrific,
Terrifying news;
Her parent’s died in a crash.
She was now alone
Her hands were like stone, cold as
Ice.
The terror began to form,
Her tears were a dam
She cried
"Why must they be gone?"
Her brown hair was soaked with
The tears she cried
Her body was weak,
Shaking
The realization flowed into her mind
She knew it was real
The death, everything
She was dead without them
They were her hero’s,
Everything
Was she being punished?
She would take back everything
Just to have her parent’s back…

    PICTURIZE....

    I like your poem!! It really has a lot of descriptive words that made me paint a picture in my mind! The words can also paint A LOT of pictures in the reader's mind: wether the child is in the house, police station, or somewhere. But i would suggest some:

    The terror began to form,
    Her tears were a dam
    Why must they be gone?
    Her brown hair was soaked with
    The tears she cried
    Her body was weak,
    Shaking

    I would say:

    The terror began to form,
    Her tears were a dam
    and the child said (or cried)
    "Why must they be gone?"
    Her brown hair was soaked with
    The tears she cried
    Her body was weak,
    Shaking

    It's optionall. And this:

    Her hands were stone cold
    Ice.

    I would say:

    He hands were like stone, as cold
    as ice

    And i think "hero's" is supoose to be "heroes"

    Anyways, i would say this to your poem:

    "This poem is what life is. This poem is very significant to the young reader's heart. CHildren are still young and needs to understand what life is and this poem makes them realize what it really is. As long as there's life, there's death. Overall, this poem is what i may say "A world of Realization that CHildren will deeply journey on".
