Notes About The Poem

8/4/2025 for The seed of Fear Poetry Contest sponsored by Jami Patterson 

Three Four, Under the Floor

One, two,
I think I'm through; 
Three, four,
under the floor; 
Five, six, 
I'm in a fix;
Seven, eight,
he met his fate;
Nine, ten,
I'm in the pen; 
Eleven, twelve,
my hopes to shelve;
Thirteen, fourteen,
clean with chlorine;
Fifteen, sixteen,
bloody crime scene; 
Seventeen, eighteen, 
murder unforeseen;
Nineteen, twenty,
stole my Good & Plenty.
