The Scene

I walked along the dreary scene,
What had happened was not mentioned to me,
I looked all around for what I did not know,
I couldn't find whatever was to show,1

Then I saw a man,
With people to and fro,
I walked up to him,
To ask him what to know,2

He spoke of terrible things,
I firmly covered my ears,
I turned and saw a woman,
My eyes filled with tears,3

The lady's hair was mine,
Mouth and lips the same,
Without asking anyone,
I already knew her name,4

I was scared at first,
That this woman was me,
But at least now I knew,
I had died upon the scene5

    This was really good! It read really easily, which is what a lot of poems lack. When I look back on it, though, I think, "Wow." I don't think I could have written this. It seemed to rhyme very easily. Many poems either sacrifice rhyme for meaning or vice versa, but you do neither. Great poem! Keep up the writing!

    Wow, this was so amazinginly good. The rhyming was so good and it seemed like each paragraph ended suddenly and like a cliffhanger, making you want to keep reading more and more. I found many parts in the poem that I really loved, but my favourites were paragraphs 4 & 5:
