Andrea Dietrich Poet Dizain

Sad Dizain

So sweet was Hope. Not one soul would she harm.
And now in college, living on her own,
she’d met a young man with good looks and charm.
One night she failed to answer her cell phone.
Was she with somebody or all alone?

The guy she’d met called friends and made a plan
to search for her. For days they all would fan
out through the woods and city. Where was Hope?
Police could find no clues; meanwhile the man
cleaned out his van and trashed his knives and rope.

Timothy Hicks May 20, 2016 at 10:02 AM Not merely sad, but downright tragic ... it's sick what some people will do. The frankness of your words make for a heart-wrenching read.

Tim Smith May 19, 2016 at 2:56 PM A horror Andrea. We hear about kids, away at college, getting murdered all too often. That is a fear many parents have when sending their kids off.
