The Grahamburglar Poet Rhyme

Me To Blame

With eyes a-glaze as other days
I took the car, spite drunken haze
I say I’m fine, a cab decline
Then three blocks down, I miss the sign.

The tires squeal, I jerk the wheel
Two cars collide and all goes still
Then in the chill, a screaming shrill
How could this be God’s truthful will?

That infant frame, my deepest shame
A lifeless form, and me to blame.
While in the sky, you catch my eye
A foolish dream, but I must try.

I in my car, and you afar
Oh twinkle, twinkle, little star
As limbs go slack, my vision black
Please grant my wish to take it back.

DM Babbit July 17, 2024 at 7:36 AM Wow! Remorse can be debilitating but recognition of our errors, now that is providential.

Poet Destroyer A May 9, 2015 at 8:08 PM Preston, wow, you looked upon the stars to grant you that wish. The drunken haze in this poem sure runs with deep shame. This is a great poem, different from all the rest, however, it is a good one, Congratulations In Kelly's "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" contest. ~LINDA~
