Right

Now you have me wondering did she hit the water or turn on time. I have never tried a tail rhyme. Nicely done. love phyl

Short, nice, and cool poem. Delight reading.

ANDREA, Congratulations, on your win... Always & Forever...... Linda

Intriguing content, one wonders whether the character went straight into the water with the vehicle. Form is unique, flow smooth and action, fast. There's a certain urgency in the lines, and leaves food for thought. Cynthia

Congrats on your win Andrea

Very lovely poem. Congratulations on a fine win, andrea

And the moral is keep left. Congrats on your win.

Congratulations on your win. So sad but perfectly executed. Love, Joyce

A chilling write..a bit different for you, but I like it..makes one think. congrats. BG

Congrats Andrea. Such a sad write.

Well gotta be right some time. Great visuals. well done Pete. take care Pete.

Saw a lady driver at a round a bout today , The road ahead totally clear , She waited and waited until eventually a car came from the other direction, The lady accelerated , The other driver was shouting , Oh dear , How unfortunate , or words to that effect . I thought of this poem then .

Ohh, love this dark one - a sure winner : )

clever and thrilling.

Not a happy poem Petal, I've had to ponder this comment for a while, sadly I've known a few that have taken their own lives, when you put yourself in their shoes looking at their temperaments and the issues that led them to end it, sometimes you can see their logic. Take care, Richard

In a few lines you perfectly penned the split second choice between suicide or life. I wrote something once about the reality café, where life is the main course but suicide is the appetizer. I will try to find it.

The split minute decision to make today different..we all get there sometimes...wondering if today will be that day perhaps...wonderful poem Andrea.

Good write Andrea. Is this about the woman that drove her car into the water with her Kids? I'm glad they were saved. Thanks for sharing... Lucilla

made me think of thelma and louise... excellent poem, andrea!

suicide it always a shame Andrea you have portrayed her well strong write kudos hugs

yes my friend your poem mirrored real life, a women in my state drove into the sea with her children ,two men pulled her and them out..she was trying to commit suicide

Some of the poets here are getting my meaning. I don't know where it turned into something about children. there are no children in the car with her!!! It's just a fictionalized poem about suicide.

It is a very strong short story based on truth by the look of the comments , Chilling is the word I would use to describe what I am reading but it is expertly done.

Well don't know if this is about the recent murder of the children or not..If so, that was a sad event in our country..Thanks for the visits to my page..Sara

This was a sad story. I hope every turns out well for the children....Tim
