It Was a Good Morning Until

It was a good morning until kids outside threw big rocks into our room, leaving glass neath the sill. What hullaballoo we went through! Auntie Em passed out with a yell. Our uncle, who stood near his wife, with his crutches - to the floor fell. My cousin screamed, "Run for your life!" He thought he was back in Iraq, for PST syndrome he had. Poor Grandpa he tried to attack. I swear I saw blood. It was BAD! Feb. 15, 2021 for Tania Kitchin's It Was A Good Morning Until.. Poetry Contest 12 lines total in rhyming stanzas abab

This is too good a poem. It flows beautifully despite the alternate rhyme pattern. Wish to write like this in perfection in future. Story seems so real. All the best for contest. Take care Rama

This type of morning would ruin anyone's day, Andrea. I hope the children in your neighborhood aren't really throwing rocks at windows. Any loud noise can trigger PTSD. The third verse was my favorite. Best wishes for a big win in Tania's contest! Hugs, Carolyn
